Samenfunde im Grab von Pharao Amenophis II. belegen seine Verwendung bereits um 1400 v. Chr. und auch die Bibel erwähnt das Kraut. Damals wurde Dill als Gewürz- und Heilpflanze verwendet und half bei vielen verschiedenen leiden. Das Kraut wird frisch und getrocknet in der Küche verwendet, die Blüten zum Einmachen und die Samen als Gewürz. Es hilft auch bei Blähungen und fördert den Milchfluss bei stillenden Frauen. Auch das Kauen der Samen hilft bei Mundgeruch und aus den Samen hergestelltes Dillwasser hat eine verdauungsfördernde Wirkung.

\u003e   Origin \u0026amp; History\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLemon balm has been valued for centuries as a wild medicinal and culinary herb. Its original range extends from the Mediterranean region across southern and central Europe to Central Asia and Iran. The name “Melissa” derives from Greek and means “honeybee,” referring to the strong attraction of its flowers to pollinators. It belongs to the mint family (Lamiaceae), the subfamily Nepetoideae, and the genus \u003cem\u003eMelissa\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLemon balm was already cultivated and used in antiquity. Dioscorides mentioned it as a medicinal plant, and Roman authors such as Pliny described its applications, including rubbing it onto new beehives to attract swarms. Arab physicians of the 10th century used it to strengthen the heart and to treat melancholy. During the Carolingian period, its cultivation was mandated in monastic gardens, and in medieval Europe it was regarded as a “comfort for the heart” and became a central herb of monastic medicine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver the centuries, the plant spread far beyond its original range and became naturalized throughout Europe and later in North America as a medicinal, culinary and aromatic herb. Its characteristic lemon scent, released when the leaves are crushed, has been appreciated since antiquity and is due to essential oils such as geranial and neral.

It belongs to the family Lamiaceae, the subfamily Nepetoideae, and the genus \u003cem\u003eThymus\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs early as around 300 BC, common thyme was mentioned in Greek sources, where it was described as an aromatic incense and medicinal herb. The Romans adopted it from this tradition, spread it throughout their provinces, and used it to season cheese, wine, and meat dishes. In the Middle Ages, common thyme entered northern cultivation through monastic gardens and was also described as a medicinal plant in medical manuscripts of the 12th century. In the early modern period, it remained an important culinary herb and appeared in numerous herbals.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith Mediterranean cuisine, common thyme became a key component of classic spice blends such as “Herbes de Provence” and continues to shape dishes in southern France, Italy, and Spain. The wild form remained virtually unchanged for centuries and is valued for its robustness, intense aroma, and ability to thrive reliably even in poor, dry soils. Today, common thyme is widespread worldwide and appreciated both in cooking and in traditional herbal medicine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\" \u003e   Appearance \u0026amp; Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eplant \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003egrows \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecompact, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ebushy, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eslightly \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewoody, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ereaching \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eabout \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e15–35 cm \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ein \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eheight \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eup \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eto \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e40 cm \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ein \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewidth. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecarries \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003enumerous \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esmall, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eevergreen \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eleaves \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eshows \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ea \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehigh \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003etolerance \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eto \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edrought \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eheat. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eprefers \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esunny, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewarm \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003elocations \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewinter‑hardy \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edown \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eto \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003earound \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e−20 °C.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLeaf details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSize:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Small and narrow, individual leaflets approx. 0.5–1 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lanceolate to linear, often slightly rolled\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grey‑green to dark green, matte\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTexture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Firm, slightly leathery, finely hairy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intensely spicy, warm, slightly resinous with earthy notes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Usage_Cultivation_Highlights_-_Verwendung_Anbau-Higlights_-_Utilizacao_e_Destaques_do_Cultivo_-_www.benjis.net_2f09de09-588a-47b6-ae70-802633c65d50.jpg?v=1763065990\" alt=\"\" width=\"75\" height=\"91\" \u003e  Usage \u0026amp; Cultivation Highlights\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCommon thyme is a versatile culinary herb whose fresh and dried leaves enhance a wide range of dishes. It pairs excellently with meat and braised dishes, stews, soups, sauces, as well as fish, poultry, and vegetable dishes. In Mediterranean cuisine, it shapes classic blends such as “Herbes de Provence” and harmonises particularly well with potatoes, tomatoes, courgettes, aubergines, and pulses. Common thyme flavours vinegar, oil, marinades, and barbecue seasonings and is ideal for herb mixes, herb butter, dips, pestos, and savoury baked goods. When dried, it retains its intense aroma and enriches roasts, ragouts, pasta sauces, pizza, focaccia, herb oils, herb salts, and oven dishes. It also refines mushroom dishes, risotto, lamb and game dishes, pickled vegetables, tomato confit, savoury jams, and infused honey. In beverages, it adds distinctive notes to lemonades, syrups, herbal drinks, and warm winter beverages. Its flowers serve as edible decoration and support bees and other pollinators in natural gardens. Traditionally, thyme is also used in herbal teas, infusions, inhalations, and compresses.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCommon thyme grows compactly and reliably in open ground, raised beds, rock gardens, herb spirals, and in pots on balconies and terraces. It is extremely low‑maintenance, winter‑hardy, and provides aromatic foliage throughout the season. It thrives particularly well in sunny, dry locations and copes with poor, stony soils as well as nutrient‑poor potting mixes. The plant remains compact, responds very well to pruning, and regenerates quickly. Thanks to its robust nature, common thyme is ideal for urban gardening, lean substrates, and exposed sites, as it requires little water and withstands dry periods well. Its fine woody structure provides stability, while its dense growth suppresses weeds and can help stabilise light soils on slopes. As a perennial and winter‑hardy species, it is perfect for long‑term herb beds and delivers reliable harvests. In mixed culture, it pairs well with rosemary, sage, and wild strawberries. Its long flowering period offers valuable food for pollinators, and as a slug‑resistant plant, it enriches permaculture and natural

In the kitchen they are popular in curries, rice dishes, and soups, add an exotic note to smoothies and herb spreads, and are also used in pestos and chutneys. In Ayurvedic herb blends, ‘Tulsi’ is often combined with ginger, cardamom, or black pepper to create invigorating and balancing drinks. Fresh leaves can serve as aromatic garnish, adding special flavor to salads or fruit bowls. In Southeast Asia the variety is traditionally used to season rice and lentil dishes, while dried leaves are processed into herbal powders and spice mixes.

It shows remarkable adaptability to different soil types, thriving in both loose garden soil and nutrient‑rich potting soil. Its rapid regeneration after cutting ensures a long and continuous harvest period. Particularly noteworthy is its strong resistance to pests and diseases, which makes cultivation easier and ensures stable yields. Regular harvesting further promotes bushy growth, so the plant provides abundant aromatic foliage throughout the season.

It belongs to the family Apiaceae, the subfamily Apioideae, and the genus \u003cem\u003eAmmi\u003c\/em\u003e. The species originates from the Nile Delta, where it was already used therapeutically in ancient Egyptian medicine.

At the same time, hyssop became an important fragrant and ritual plant. Flowering stems were used across Europe in herbal bundles and household charms to cleanse and scent rooms.

Its flowers strongly attract wild bees, bumblebees and hoverflies, supporting ecological balance. Thanks to its robustness, hyssop thrives even in poor, dry soils, regenerates well after cutting and can be harvested several times. It tolerates heat, drought and full sun, making it excellent for naturalistic gardens, prairie plantings, herb spirals and rock gardens. It remains upright for many years, becomes reliably woody at the base, is slug‑resistant and winter hardy, forms compact, long‑lived clumps and shows stable vitality even in windy, nutrient‑poor sites. Its dense, aromatic foliage naturally deters pests, while the long flowering period provides pollinators with forage for weeks. Hyssop also remains well‑shaped and easy to care for in pots, making it ideal for sunny terraces and balconies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cem\u003eCompared with other Mediterranean herbs, hyssop is particularly aromatic and versatile – ideal for anyone seeking a low‑maintenance, perennial culinary herb with strong beneficial‑insect value and deep traditional significance.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/tc\u003e","brand":"Benjis Seeds","offers":[{"title":"0.8g - 700 seeds","offer_id":44016571744575,"sku":"","price":2.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/benjis-seeds-hyssopus-officinalis-hyssop-product-seeds-01.webp?v=1784370332"},{"product_id":"pale-purple-coneflower-echinacea","title":"\u003ctc\u003ePale Purple Coneflower - Echinacea pallida\u003c\/tc\u003e","description":"\u003ctc\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe perennial pale purple coneflower is a wild traditional medicinal plant used as a herbal medicine for wound treatment and respiratory infections due to its high content of the immune stimulant echinacin.

This robust plant is native to the arid regions of Central and North America and is found in rocky hills, prairies, open woodlands, and scree fields. Centuries ago, the Sioux Indians in America successfully used coneflower sap to treat wounds. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this hardy plant gained greater importance among many physicians for treating conditions ranging from snakebites to syphilis. Today, the species is an integral part of herbal medicine and continues to play a significant role in medicinal plant cultivation. As a traditional herbal medicinal product, the medicinal plant is firmly integrated into phytopharmaceuticals in Europe. The roots of this sun-loving plant have anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties and are used for the supportive treatment and prevention of recurring upper respiratory tract infections, such as the common cold. Unlike other Echinacea species, the petals are noticeably narrower, longer, and usually curved sharply downward. Unlike 'Echinacea purpurea,' the Light Purple Coneflower has a more upright growth habit. These colorful and undemanding plants can also be used as ornamental plants in perennial beds and are an excellent source of bee food.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eMixed culture\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptimal mixed culture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Milfoil yarrow, Scented nettle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnfavorable mixed culture:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003e-\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eSowing by climate zone\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSubtropic climate (Mediterranean) (e. g.

Its original range includes moist meadows, light woodlands and riverbanks in temperate regions. The traditional plant is mentioned in the 1st century AD in Dioscorides’ \u003cem\u003eDe Materia Medica\u003c\/em\u003e, where the root is described as a warming, aromatic remedy for coughs and digestive complaints. Pliny the Elder also refers to its use in his \u003cem\u003eNaturalis historia\u003c\/em\u003e, highlighting the characteristic fragrance of the root. The species belongs to the aster family (Asteraceae), subfamily Asteroideae, and the genus \u003cem\u003eInula\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the early Middle Ages, elecampane remained a valued cultivated plant. In the \u003cem\u003eCapitulare de villis\u003c\/em\u003e (c. 812 AD) it is listed as an important medicinal and useful plant for monastic and estate gardens. Hildegard of Bingen described it in the 12th century as a strengthening, warming herb. In Renaissance herbals — including Leonhart Fuchs’ \u003cem\u003eNew Kreüterbuch\u003c\/em\u003e (1543) and later in the works of Tabernaemontanus — elecampane appears as a versatile medicinal root and an aromatic ingredient for sweets, wines and healing tonics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor centuries, elecampane was used in cough syrups, herbal wines, bitter liqueurs, incense blends and strengthening elixirs. In folk medicine, the root was regarded as warming, expectorant, digestive and fortifying. Regionally it was candied or preserved in syrup. It also played a role in incense traditions, as the dried root releases a warm, balsamic fragrance when burned. With the rise of naturalistic gardening in the 19th and 20th centuries, elecampane regained importance and is now valued as a traditional, robust medicinal plant that supports biodiversity and serves as a long‑lived structural perennial in natural and cottage gardens.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\" \u003e  Appearance \u0026amp; Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eplant \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eperennial \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eclump‑forming, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewith \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003estrong, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eupright \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003estems. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIts \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003elarge, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ebroad‑lanceolate \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eleaves \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecan \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ereach \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e30–60 cm \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ein \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003elength, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003egiving \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eperennial \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ean \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eimpressive, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003earchitectural \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eappearance. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehigh \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esummer \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eit \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eproduces \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ebright \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eyellow, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003estar‑shaped \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eflowers \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethat \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eattract \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003enumerous \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003epollinators. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eElecampane \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edevelops \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ea \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003epowerful, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edeep‑reaching \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003etaproot \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewith \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ean \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003earomatic \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003erootstock \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003efully \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehardy \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edown \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eto \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eabout \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e–25 °C.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHeight:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Tall, 100–200 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, herbaceous, clump‑forming\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLeaves:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large, lanceolate, 30–60 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Golden yellow, 5–8 cm, radiate\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm‑spicy, aromatic, slightly bitter\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"91\" width=\"75\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Usage_Cultivation_Highlights_-_Verwendung_Anbau-Higlights_-_Utilizacao_e_Destaques_do_Cultivo_-_www.benjis.net_2f09de09-588a-47b6-ae70-802633c65d50.jpg?v=1763065990\" \u003e  Usage \u0026amp; Cultivation Highlights\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eElecampane is excellent for teas, tinctures, herbal wines, syrups, incense blends and aromatic preparations. The root is especially fragrant and has traditionally been used for cough teas, bitter liqueurs and herbal elixirs, while dried pieces release a warm, spicy‑resinous aroma ideal for herbal baths, salves, oil infusions and incense. In historical cuisine, elecampane root was ground into a fine powder and used in spiced baked goods, herb breads and hearty herbal fillings. It also refines herb oils, vinegars, digestifs and aromatic honey or oxymel preparations, and is well suited for bitters, stomach liqueurs and traditional herbal wines. The decorative flowers can be dried, bundled or used as ornamental elements in herbal bouquets. The root also played a role in gruit mixtures for historical herb beers and mead preparations, and served as a natural dye plant producing yellowish to brownish tones.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the garden, elecampane impresses with its robustness, longevity and imposing stature. It grows reliably in borders, naturalistic and cottage gardens, and in sunny to partially shaded locations. Its deep taproot provides excellent drought tolerance, while the large flowers offer valuable forage for wild bees and hoverflies. This low‑maintenance, cut‑tolerant perennial stabilises the soil with its strong root system and makes a striking statement as a solitary plant or background perennial. Elecampane is fully hardy, largely disease‑resistant and develops early structural presence in the bed, while its late‑summer bloom adds colour to the second half of the season. Its height makes it ideal for creating sightlines and natural backdrops. It produces sturdy cut flowers, casts beneficial shade on the soil, withstands wind well and contributes to soil loosening through its deep root system.

In nature, the wild plant occurs in mountainous and heathland regions throughout Central Europe and prefers to grow on poor pastures, mountain meadows, and dry moorland and forest meadows. The perennial, clump-forming plant forms elongated, oval leaves and produces bright yellow flowers that exude an intense aroma. For centuries, Arnica montana has been valued in herbal medicine and traditional medicine for its anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, and antimicrobial properties. The first written mention of the plant dates back to the Middle Ages. It enjoyed particular popularity in the 18th century, when it became the subject of research in the developing scientific field of medicine. Goethe also valued the plant and made tea from it to relieve age-related ailments. It was frequently used to treat injuries and was important for the development of homeopathy. In countries like Germany and Switzerland, it is an essential ingredient in herbal medicines. Please note that arnica is only suitable for external use, as ingestion with the wrong dosage can be toxic. The medicinal herb is available in cream, gel, or ointment form. It is an excellent bee pasture for preserving biodiversity, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00; text-decoration: underline\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eThe \u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eMountain arnica\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00; text-decoration: underline\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003e is an endangered wild plant species and is protected!\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99; color: #000000;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan style=\"color: #1f2124\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eGeneral information\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant family:\u003c\/strong\u003e Asteraceae\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLife cycle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perennial\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDays to harvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120 days\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlant height approx.:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50 cm\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRoot type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep rooter\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNutrient requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWater requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWinter hardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to -23°C\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLocation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sunny\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Permeable, humus-rich sandy loam soil\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003epH value:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.5 to 6\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003cu\u003eSowing and planting information\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGermination type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light and cold germinator\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSowing depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0 cm\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOptimal germination temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-10 °C\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGermination time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14-21 days\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlant and row spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25x25 cm\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGermination ability of seeds:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 1-2\u0026nbsp;years\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eMixed culture\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptimal mixed culture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heather, Blueberry, Daisy, Milfoil yarrow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnfavorable mixed culture:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003e-\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eSowing by climate zone\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSubtropic climate (Mediterranean) (e. g.

In the wild it inhabits rocky slopes, open dry grasslands and light scrub. As a classic monastic and medicinal herb it was cultivated early in European herb and cottage gardens, valued for its aromatic oils and its importance for pollinators. Botanically it belongs to the mint family (Lamiaceae), the subfamily Nepetoideae and the genus \u003cem\u003eSalvia\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts earliest documented mention dates to the 13th century: in \u003cem\u003eDe proprietatibus rerum\u003c\/em\u003e (c. 1230–1240), Bartholomaeus Anglicus describes clary sage, making it one of the earliest recorded fragrant and medicinal plants of medieval Europe. From the High Middle Ages to the early modern period it played a notable role in perfumery, wine and liqueur refinement, women’s herbal medicine, respiratory and digestive applications, and monastic healing traditions. Its colourful bracts were used in herb bundles, protective house blessings and incense rituals, symbolising purification, protection and mental clarity. In Mediterranean folk medicine it appeared in salves, tinctures, skincare and aromatic oils.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the 18th century it spread through botanical gardens and herbals across Central Europe and became a cherished plant of fragrance and cottage gardens. Its essential oils served as a base note in early European perfumery and continue to shape traditional fragrance and incense recipes today. Today, clary sage is regarded as a characterful, drought‑tolerant perennial for naturalistic plantings, fragrance gardens and biodiversity‑oriented designs. Its nectar‑rich flowers and aromatic growth habit carry its long cultural history into the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\" \u003e   Appearance \u0026amp; Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBiennial plant forming a strong basal rosette in the first year and producing tall, upright, branched flower stems in the second year.

Valerian grows throughout Europe, especially on moorland meadows and on river and stream banks.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eMixed culture\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptimal mixed culture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bean, Dill, Pea, Potato, Cabbage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnfavorable mixed culture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lamb's lettuce, Wormwood\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eSowing by climate zone\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSubtropic climate (Mediterranean) (e. g.

Its original range lies in the dry, sunny regions of Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia. Botanically, wormwood belongs to the Asteraceae family, the Asteroideae subfamily, and the genus Artemisia, traditionally associated with the protective goddess Artemis.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe earliest documented reference dates to the 1st century AD. The Greek physician Dioscorides describes wormwood in his work De materia medica as one of the most important bitter herbs of his time. Pliny the Elder and Hippocratic medicine also mention it as a strengthening, digestion‑supporting herb.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the Middle Ages, wormwood became a staple of monastic gardens. Herbals and medical writings from the 9th to 12th centuries describe it as a cleansing, fortifying, and protective plant.

Its aromatic, bitter flavor refines tinctures, bitter elixirs, and herbal teas. Dried leaves and flowering stems are used for incense, tea, rituals, scented sachets, herb bundles, and decorative wreaths. In many regions it is regarded as a classic protective and cleansing herb. Its shoots add aroma to vinegar, oils, and traditional beverages. Wormwood has also been used for centuries to repel insects, whether in bouquets, cupboards, or natural repellent blends. In the garden it serves as a robust, fragrant structural plant that attracts beneficial insects while deterring pests. It is also well suited for plant ferments, natural plant protection, and craft uses such as dried arrangements or incense pans.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWormwood thrives reliably in open ground, rock gardens, and dry, sunny locations. The plant is extremely low‑maintenance, winter‑hardy, and harvestable for many years. Its flowers attract numerous beneficial insects and support ecological balance. Thanks to its resilience, it continues to grow steadily even in poor soils, regenerates after every cut, and allows multiple harvests. It forms long‑lasting, compact clumps, tolerates drought, heat, and nutrient‑poor sites, and remains vigorous even in full sun and exposed, windy conditions. Mature plants are resistant to slugs and well suited for container culture. Its aromatic scent naturally repels pests while simultaneously attracting pollinators. Even in lean, stony, or sandy soils, wormwood remains reliably vigorous and is ideal for prairie plantings, naturalistic gardens, and dry

History\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMeadowsweet has been valued as a medicinal and aromatic plant for centuries. Its natural range extends across Europe, Western Asia and parts of Siberia. The name “meadowsweet” derives from the Middle High German \u003cem\u003emet\u003c\/em\u003e for honey wine and refers to the traditional use of the flowers to flavour mead. Botanically, the species belongs to the rose family (Rosaceae), the subfamily Rosoideae and the genus \u003cem\u003eFilipendula\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMeadowsweet was already known in antiquity and was collected and cultivated in various regions of Europe. Archaeobotanical finds from Bronze Age and Iron Age settlements attest to its use in ritual contexts. Celtic and Germanic cultures revered the plant as a sacred herb and used it both ceremonially and medicinally. In the Middle Ages, Meadowsweet served as a fragrant strewing herb in living spaces and banquet halls, as its dried flowers release an intense honey‑almond scent. Herbals of the Renaissance and early modern period describe it as a remedy for fever, pain and digestive complaints.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the 19th century, salicylic acid was first isolated from its flowers – a milestone that later led to the development of acetylsalicylic acid and gave the plant international scientific significance. Over the centuries, Meadowsweet spread far beyond its original range and became naturalised throughout Europe and parts of North America. It secured a firm place in wet meadows, monastic gardens and traditional cottage gardens and is still regarded as one of Europe’s most important historical medicinal and aromatic plants – a symbolic species of moist meadow landscapes and a lasting element of European herbal culture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\" \u003e  Appearance \u0026amp;

Its aromatic flowers contain essential oils and salicylates, traditionally used in herbal medicine. Externally, it is applied in folk medicine to soothe irritated skin. It refines jams, lemonades and light summer dishes and is a valuable fragrance plant. Meadowsweet has long been used to flavour mead, liqueurs and herbal wines, and is suitable for flower sugar, flower vinegar and syrup bases, as well as for use in scented sachets, potpourris and incense blends.

Its flowers attract numerous beneficial insects such as bees, bumblebees and butterflies, supporting ecological balance in the garden. It grows strongly in moist to wet soils, regenerates well after pruning and forms long‑lived clumps. It prefers sunny to semi‑shaded sites and shows good tolerance to changing weather conditions. Meadowsweet also impresses with its high soil adaptability in humus‑rich, permanently moist substrates, its pronounced robustness against waterlogging and its ability to flower reliably even in cooler summers. The plant stabilises damp banks, contributes to biodiversity in naturalistic gardens and remains vigorous and productive for many years thanks to its strong

History\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe common houseleek is an open‑pollinated wild form originating from the mountains of southern Europe, from the Pyrenees across central France to the western Balkans. It belongs to the family Crassulaceae, the subfamily Sempervivoideae, and the genus \u003cem\u003eSempervivum\u003c\/em\u003e. Already in antiquity it was valued for its resilience and used externally for centuries as a robust medicinal plant. In the 4th century BC, Theophrastus noted that it prefers to grow on walls and roof tiles. In Roman and medieval times it was regarded as a protective plant against lightning and fire, which is why Charlemagne ordered it to be planted on house roofs in 812.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe botanical epithet “tectorum” (“of the roof”) refers to this historical use. Today, \u003cem\u003eSempervivum tectorum\u003c\/em\u003e occurs naturalized or established across large parts of Europe – from Scandinavia to Ireland and as far as the Caucasus and Iran. This wide distribution is the result of its exceptional hardiness and its long cultural history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe common houseleek is considered one of the most significant European succulents. Its ability to thrive in extremely nutrient‑poor, rocky, and dry habitats ensured its preservation as a cultivated plant over many centuries.

The species is fully frost‑hardy and forms dense, decorative cushions. It thrives alongside drought‑loving species such as lavender, thyme, and sage, and remains vigorous even in heat, drought, and cold. Its compact growth makes it ideal for slopes, walls, and rocky embankments, while the continuous formation of offsets makes propagation particularly easy. Fertilization or irrigation is unnecessary, as it grows reliably even in extremely poor, sunny, and stony sites. It is also highly suitable for rock gardens, dry stone walls, extensive green roofs, and naturalistic plantings. Its dense rosettes stabilize substrates, prevent erosion, and create small microhabitats for insects. Even in containers, bowls, troughs, and miniature gardens, it shows great adaptability and quickly forms attractive stands.

Its original range covers nearly all of Europe, the Mediterranean region, and parts of Western Asia, where it primarily grows in open meadows, along roadsides, and on extensively managed grasslands. Botanically, the species belongs to the family Asteraceae, the subfamily Asteroideae, and the genus Bellis. The name Bellis derives from the Latin bellus (“beautiful”), while perennis (“perennial”) refers to the long‑lived growth habit of the wild form.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe earliest mention appears in the writings of Pliny the Elder in the 1st century AD, who described the daisy as a medicinal plant used for wounds and skin injuries. Dioscorides also included it in De materia medica, documenting its continuous medicinal use since antiquity. In medieval herbals, Bellis perennis is regularly listed as a remedy for bruises, swelling, and skin irritation, and it was cultivated in monastic gardens as a robust and easily accessible medicinal plant.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOver the centuries, the wild form spread far beyond its original range through natural dispersal and human use.

Its anti-inflammatory compounds have long been used for skin issues, bruises, coughs, and digestive discomfort. Applied externally, it soothes irritated skin and supports wound healing. The flowers enhance salads, herb spreads, soups, smoothies, and wild herb blends. In herbal medicine, they are used to strengthen the immune system, support recovery from colds, and promote gentle detoxification. Fresh flowers serve as an aromatic ingredient in herb butter, pestos, and floral vinegars, while the buds are pickled as the “capers of the North.” In natural cosmetics, flower extracts form the basis of nourishing oils, salves, and washes. Syrups, honey infusions, herbal baths, and compresses traditionally support the respiratory system, skin regeneration, and metabolism, making the plant a versatile component of spring tonics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCommon daisy grows reliably outdoors and in containers. The plant is low-maintenance, winter-hardy, and can be harvested for many years. Its flowers attract numerous beneficial insects such as bees and bumblebees, supporting ecological balance in the garden. Thanks to its robust nature, it continues to thrive even in less-than-ideal soils, regenerates quickly after each cut, and allows multiple harvests. It forms long-lived clumps and is well suited for lawns, pathways, and naturalistic gardens. Overall, it shows strong tolerance to dry periods and fluctuating weather conditions. The wild form thrives in full sun or partial shade and performs well in nutrient-poor, compacted, or slightly acidic soils. It is resilient enough to withstand foot traffic in meadows and lawns and spreads reliably through short rhizomes and self-seeding without becoming invasive.

From there it spread across Europe. The orange‑flowered cultivated form known today arose from Mediterranean wild populations and was already described as a medicinal plant in antiquity. Dioscorides and Pliny mentioned its use for skin ailments, and its bright blooms were early on used as a dye and as a saffron substitute. The name “Calendula” refers to its long flowering period.

The classic orange form was selected over generations for its colour, floriferousness and reliable seed production.

Its anti‑inflammatory and wound‑healing properties have traditionally been used for skin irritations, minor wounds, eczema and dry skin. Applied externally, it soothes sensitive skin and supports regeneration. The petals refine salads, soups, rice dishes and baked goods, serve as a natural colouring agent and are used in natural cosmetics for creams, soaps and facial tonics. In herbal medicine it supports wound healing, acts against inflammation and gently cares for the skin. The flowers are also used in baths, compresses and oil infusions for massage and care oils, as well as for colouring vinegars, oils and herb salts. Dried flowers are suitable for incense and fragrance blends and serve in the kitchen as a plant‑based alternative to saffron.

Its blooms attract numerous beneficial insects such as bees, bumblebees and hoverflies, supporting ecological balance in the garden. Thanks to its robust nature it continues to grow well even in less‑than‑ideal soils, self‑seeds and is excellent for flowering strips, natural gardens and green manures. It is also highly tolerant of drought and fluctuating weather conditions. With its rapid development it reliably suppresses weeds, improves soil structure and is well suited to crop rotations and mixed cultivation.

Its mild aroma also makes it a popular ingredient in herbal pillows, fragrance blends, and aromatherapy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrue chamomile grows reliably in open ground, greenhouses, and containers. It prefers sunny locations, well‑drained, low‑nutrient soils, and tolerates dry conditions well. Annual but eager to self‑seed, it requires little water and is overall very easy to care for. Thanks to its robust nature, it thrives even under less‑than‑ideal conditions and produces abundant blossoms over many weeks. The plants attract numerous beneficial insects such as bees, hoverflies, and butterflies, supporting ecological balance in the garden. With its natural tendency to self‑seed, it reappears each year in suitable spots and is excellent for naturalistic, low‑maintenance gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cem\u003eCompared to other chamomile species, true chamomile is the well‑known traditional medicinal plant with particularly valued healing properties – ideal for those who appreciate easy‑to‑grow annual herbs with fragrant, insect‑friendly blossoms.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/tc\u003e","brand":"Benjis Seeds","offers":[{"title":"0.45g - 5000 seeds","offer_id":44067646603583,"sku":"","price":2.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/benjis-seeds-matricaria-recutita-true-chamomile-product-seeds-01.webp?v=1785797280"},{"product_id":"mooskrause-curly-parsley","title":"Curly Parsley Mooskrause [Petroselinum crispum]","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe biennial curly parsley 'Mooskrause' is a world-renowned and versatile spice and medicinal herb with a naturally strong aroma.

Botanically, it belongs to the family Hypericaceae, within the subfamily Hypericoideae and the genus \u003cem\u003eHypericum\u003c\/em\u003e. This wild form has inhabited sunny forest edges, roadsides, embankments and nutrient‑poor meadows for thousands of years and is considered a firmly rooted component of the Eurasian flora. Characteristic features include the translucent oil glands in the leaves, which gave the species the name \u003cem\u003eperforatum\u003c\/em\u003e, as well as the black glandular dots on the petals and the red sap in buds and tissues, produced by hypericin.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCommon St John’s wort has been known as an important medicinal herb since antiquity and was already described in the 1st century by Dioscorides in \u003cem\u003eDe materia medica\u003c\/em\u003e and by Pliny the Elder in the \u003cem\u003eNaturalis historia\u003c\/em\u003e. Its flowering period around St John’s Day (24 June) led to the name “St John’s wort”. In various European cultures it was regarded as a symbol of light and the sun. Traditionally, it was used to produce red oil, made by macerating the flowers in oil, which takes on the characteristic red colour. It also played a central role for centuries as a tea herb and in folk medicine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTo this day, common St John’s wort remains present in medicinal gardens, monastic gardens and naturalistic plantings, where it is valued for its medicinal significance, its long flowering period and its robustness.

It has also been used for centuries as a tea herb, as well as a fumigating plant in rituals and for purification. Its bright yellow flowers make it a popular medicinal and symbolic plant in monastic and healing gardens, where it is collected for salves, oil extracts and herbal preparations. In addition, it serves as a valuable bee plant and a versatile medicinal herb in folk medicine. In traditional herb bundles, solstice rituals and historical household apothecaries, it played a consistent role, underscoring its cultural significance to this day.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCommon St John’s wort is robust, adaptable and provides reliable floral displays outdoors. The species flowers for a long time and forms strong, well‑branched clumps. It shows high tolerance to drought and develops stable stands even in poor soils. Thanks to its deep root system, it remains easy to care for, while its upright growth makes harvesting the flowers easier. As a mature plant it is resistant to slugs and shows excellent winter hardiness. It is well suited for mixed plantings with other medicinal herbs and wild perennials. It tolerates heat well, remains vigorous even in full sun and establishes reliably even in stony, nutrient‑poor soils. With its rapid establishment, it quickly closes open soil patches and supports the stability of naturalistic plantings.

It has been part of the European flora since antiquity, favouring light woodlands, woodland edges, hedgerows and humus‑rich, semi‑shaded sites. Its hooked aggregate achenes cling to animal fur, enabling its wide natural dispersal along wildlife corridors. Botanically, it belongs to the family Rosaceae, subfamily Rosoideae, genus \u003cem\u003eGeum\u003c\/em\u003e.**\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWood Avens is mentioned in the 9th‑century Carolingian “Capitulare de villis”, where it appears as an important medicinal and culinary plant for monastic and royal gardens. In the 11th century it reappears in the widely circulated medieval herbal “Macer floridus”, which describes its aromatic root and strengthening properties. Hildegard of Bingen refers to it in the 12th century as a warming, fortifying plant that “strengthens heart and stomach”. In the early modern period it is listed in European herbals such as those of Pietro Andrea Mattioli (1554) and John Gerard (1597) as a proven medicinal and aromatic herb.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHistorically, the root of Wood Avens was valued for its intense clove‑like scent — an aroma produced by its eugenol content. It was used to flavour beer, wine and food, and in folk medicine it was regarded as warming, strengthening, digestive and mildly antiseptic. In traditional herbal practice it was used for digestive and intestinal complaints, mouth and throat inflammations, fever, exhaustion and for strengthening during convalescence. The dried root was incorporated into tea blends, tinctures and bitter preparations, while the leaves served as a mild wild vegetable. In incense traditions it was used as a cleansing herb with a warm, aromatic fragrance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday, Wood Avens remains a valued wild perennial in naturalistic plantings, woodland gardens and herb beds.

This robust and drought-tolerant wild plant is native to the dry highlands of California, Arizona, and Mexico, where it grows up to 2,000 meters in altitude. In nature, the herbaceous, upright plant occurs naturally along roadsides and in fields. It has been cultivated extensively since the beginning of the 19th century. Due to its special properties, it has proven itself as a green manure plant and is highly valued in organic gardening. In home gardens, it is often planted in dry perennial beds or rockeries alongside ornamental grasses and other annuals. Its dense root system enriches the soil organically, loosens it, and helps combat soil fatigue. It is not related to any native vegetable species, which makes it easy to integrate into crop rotation. Sowing green manure plants acts like a soil treatment, protecting the soil from drying out and crusting in winter. It also reliably suppresses weeds and can be used as a pre-crop for new lawns or to quickly green up fallow land. It is undemanding and grows in almost any soil. As a medicinal plant, the plant's flavonoids and other bioactive substances have anti-inflammatory properties and are consumed as a tea. It also has a calming effect and can be helpful in relieving stress and anxiety. Thanks to its antimicrobial properties, the plant is also a valuable ingredient in ointments and lotions for treating skin problems such as eczema and minor injuries. The flowers of these cold-sensitive plants provide a valuable food source for bees, bumblebees, and other pollinators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e10g is sufficient for approx. 5 m²\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99; color: #000000;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan style=\"color: #1f2124;\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eGeneral information\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant family:\u003c\/strong\u003e Boraginaceae\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLife cycle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Annual\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDays to harvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 days\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlant height approx.:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70 cm\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRoot type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep rooter\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNutrient requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWater requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWinter hardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to -6°C\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLocation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sunny until semi shady\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Permeable, humus-rich sandy loam soil\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003epH value:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 to 7.5\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003cu\u003eSowing and planting information\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGermination type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark germinator\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSowing depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-2 cm\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOptimal germination temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12-18 °C\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGermination time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8-14 days\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlant and row spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15x25 cm\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGermination ability of seeds:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 2-3\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u0026nbsp;years\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eMixed culture\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptimal mixed culture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Raspberries, Cauliflower, Peas, Beans, Potatoes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnfavorable mixed culture:\u003c\/strong\u003e -\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSowing by climate zone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSubtropic climate (Mediterranean) (e. g.

This hardy perennial is native to southern Europe, the Mediterranean, and Africa. It thrives wild in dry, calcareous grasslands and rocky areas and is commonly found in countries such as Spain, Italy, and the Balkan Peninsula. The herb was first used by the ancient Romans and Greeks around 2,000 years ago and brought to Great Britain, where it became established in gardens. For many centuries, the medicinal herb has been highly valued as a culinary spice and also for its medicinal properties. The evergreen dwarf shrub produces aromatic leaves and flowers and has a strong, spicy aroma reminiscent of sun-drenched landscapes. In folk medicine, it was often regarded as a symbol of strength and vitality, also as an aphrodisiac and associated with passion and love. The medicinal herb is used to treat indigestion and respiratory diseases and is traditionally used to support digestion, relieve flatulence and stomach pain, and promote general health. It can be harvested almost year-round and is used fresh or dried in the kitchen for meat, bean, and potato dishes or stews, making heavy foods easier to digest. A tea made from savory also supports digestion. In cosmetics, the plant's essential oils are used in skin care products. As a bee pasture, this plant is an ideal addition to any garden, and its long flowering period attracts many beneficial insects such as bees, butterflies, and hoverflies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99; color: #000000;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan style=\"color: #1f2124;\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eGeneral information\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant family:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eLamiaceae\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLife cycle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perennial\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDays to harvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120 days\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlant height approx.:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40 cm\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRoot type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep rooter\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNutrient requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWater requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWinter hardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to -20°C\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLocation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sunny\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Permeable, sandy loam soil\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003epH value:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.5 to 7.5\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003cu\u003eSowing and planting information\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGermination type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light germinator\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSowing depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0 cm\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOptimal germination temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 17-23 °C\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGermination time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10-15 days\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlant and row spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25x25 cm\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGermination ability of seeds:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 2-3\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u0026nbsp;years\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eMixed culture\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptimal mixed culture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bean, Beetroot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnfavorable mixed culture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Basil\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSowing by climate zone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSubtropic climate (Mediterranean) (e. g.

Native to the central and eastern regions of North America, this medicinal plant grows primarily in the prairies and open woodlands. Decades ago, this robust herb was prized and used in many ways by the indigenous peoples of North America for its healing properties. It was considered a panacea and used to heal wounds from snakebites, toothaches, and inflammation, as well as as an anti-infective agent. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this hardy plant became more important to many physicians, treating conditions ranging from syphilis to dysentery. Today, it is widespread throughout the world, extensively researched, and often grown in gardens for both medicinal and ornamental purposes. In herbal medicine, it is used primarily for its potential immune-boosting properties, but is also used to prevent or treat colds and respiratory infections, reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and support skin health. The plant is used as a tea, tincture, capsules, and for external application. Unlike 'Echinacea pallida,' the purple coneflower prefers a nutrient-rich and moist location and often grows bushier. This sun-loving plant has bright purple flowers and, thanks to its long flowering period, is an excellent food source for pollinating insects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99; color: #000000;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan style=\"color: #1f2124\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eGeneral information\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant family:\u003c\/strong\u003e Asteraceae\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLife cycle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perennial\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDays to harvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e 110 days\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlant height approx.:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 cm\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRoot type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep rooter\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNutrient requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWater requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWinter hardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to -23°C\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLocation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sunny\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Permeable, humus-rich loamy soil\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003epH value:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.5 to 7.5\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003cu\u003eSowing and planting information\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGermination type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark and cold germinator\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSowing depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5-2 cm\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOptimal germination temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15-20 °C\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGermination time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14-21 days\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlant and row spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40x40 cm\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGermination ability of seeds:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 3-4\u0026nbsp;years\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eMixed culture\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptimal mixed culture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Milfoil yarrow, Scented nettle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnfavorable mixed culture:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003e-\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eSowing by climate zone\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSubtropic climate (Mediterranean) (e. g.

Its yellow flowers are also suitable for natural decorations, herb wreaths and craft uses. As a wild perennial it is a valuable insect plant and supports biodiversity in the garden. In addition, agrimony is used for gargle solutions and herbal baths, as its mild tannins soothe skin and mucous membranes. In folk herbalism it serves as a gentle wash and poultice herb for stressed skin. The fresh or dried leaves can be processed into plant extracts and herbal wines, while the dried flower spikes are used in scented pillows and natural herb arrangements.

Thanks to its deep taproot it continues to grow steadily even in dry, poor soils, regenerates well after each cut and can be harvested multiple times. It tolerates full sun and windy sites, remains vigorous even in heat and is well suited for ecological, low‑maintenance garden concepts. Agrimony also thrives in nutrient‑poor, stony and slightly compacted soils, shows high tolerance to fluctuating rainfall and stays vital even in dry summers. Its clump‑forming growth provides stability, while the fine leaf hairs reduce evaporation and increase drought resistance.

It complements meat and braised dishes, stews, soups, sauces, fish, poultry, and vegetables, and pairs especially well with potatoes, tomatoes, courgettes, aubergines, and pulses. Its delicate aroma enhances vinegar, oil, marinades, grilling blends, herb mixes, herb butter, dips, and savoury baked goods. When dried, its flavour remains intact and enriches roasts, ragouts, pasta sauces, pizza, herb oils, herb salts, and oven dishes. It elevates mushroom dishes, risotto, lamb and game dishes, pickled vegetables, infused honey, breads and pastries, fillings, and savoury pancakes. In food preservation, it is used to flavour smoked goods, infused oils, and savoury pastes. In beverages, it adds distinctive notes to herbal teas, infusions, lemonades, and syrups. Its flowers are edible and decorate salads, desserts, and herb platters. Historically, creeping thyme was used in teas, infusions, inhalations, incense, herbal baths, and compresses, and found its place in scented cushions, herb bundles, and aromatic household blends.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCreeping thyme grows reliably and low‑creeping in open ground, raised beds, rock gardens, herb spirals, green roofs, and containers on balconies and terraces. It is extremely easy to care for, winter‑hardy, and provides aromatic foliage throughout the season. It thrives particularly well in sunny, dry locations and copes with poor, stony soils as well as nutrient‑poor potting mixes. The plant remains low, responds very well to pruning, and regenerates quickly. Thanks to its robust nature, creeping thyme is ideal for urban gardening, lean substrates, and exposed sites. Its dense growth suppresses weeds and stabilises light soils on slopes. As a perennial and winter‑hardy species, it is perfect for long‑term herb beds and delivers reliable harvests. Its long flowering period provides valuable food for pollinators, and as a slug‑resistant plant it enriches permaculture and nature‑friendly gardens. Creeping thyme is also walkable and releases a pleasant scent when stepped on. Its flat growth warms early in the year and starts into vegetation quickly. It is excellent for greening wall tops, joints, and dry stone walls, forming long‑lasting, tread‑resistant cushions.

Century was used as a medicinal plant. Due to its aromatic and resinous scent, it is often used as a fragrance plant. The sun-loving, hardy and evergreen shrub with narrow leaves and blue flowers prefers relatively dry soils and full sun. The herb is an important ingredient, especially in Mediterranean cuisine and in spice mixtures such as “Herbs of Provence”.

Its natural range includes the temperate to warm regions of China, Korea, Japan and neighbouring parts of East Asia. The Chinese name „荆芥“ (Jīng Jiè), literally “thorn mint”, refers to its traditional use and its fine, slightly rough stems. Botanically, the plant belongs to the Lamiaceae family, subfamily Nepetoideae, and the genus Schizonepeta.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIts earliest written mention appears in the classical herbal text 神農本草經 (Shénnóng Běncǎo Jīng), compiled between the 1st century BCE and the 1st century CE. There, Jing Jie is described as a herb that “expels wind” and “releases the exterior”, referring in historical TCM terminology to its use for early‑stage colds, chills and weather‑related discomfort. Later works such as the 名醫別錄 (Míngyī Biélù) also mention its use for itchy skin conditions. The 本草綱目 (Běncǎo Gāngmù, 1596) describes Jing Jie as a plant whose dried flowering spikes were traditionally used for sensitivity to cold and wind, skin reactions and seasonal ailments.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith the spread of East Asian herbal traditions, Jing Jie reached Europe and North America from the 20th century onwards, where it is cultivated as an aromatic tea and medicinal herb. Its characteristic mild mint aroma with fruity notes, shaped by a low menthol content, clearly distinguishes it from classic peppermint varieties. Thanks to its long history of use, its versatility and its essential oil content, Jing Jie is still regarded as one of the oldest and most significant traditional medicinal plants of East Asia.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\" \u003e  Appearance \u0026amp; Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plant is annual, herbaceous and grows upright with loosely branched stems.

Caraway was already used in the Neolithic period, as archaeological finds from pile‑dwelling settlements show. The oldest confirmed evidence comes from the Neolithic settlement of Twann on Lake Biel (ca. 3000 BC), where caraway seeds were discovered in storage pits. The first written reference appears in the “Ebers Papyrus” (ca. 1550 BC), an ancient Egyptian medical compendium in which caraway is described as a remedy for digestive complaints. It was also known in antiquity and valued by Greeks and Romans as both a spice and a medicinal plant. Caraway belongs to the family Apiaceae, within the subfamily Apioideae and the genus \u003cem\u003eCarum\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the Middle Ages, true caraway played an important role in monastic medicine and European folk healing. It was considered digestive, antispasmodic, and warming, and was used in bread, cheese, cabbage dishes, and spirits. Its characteristic aroma, shaped primarily by carvone, made it one of the most important traditional spices of Central Europe. Medieval herbals such as the “Capitulare de villis” (8th century) and later the “Gart der Gesundheit” (1485) list caraway as a valuable medicinal and culinary herb. Over the centuries, it remained a staple of rural cuisine, monastic herbalism, and regional food culture. To this day, true caraway is an indispensable component of many traditional dishes and a valuable medicinal herb with a long cultural history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\" \u003e   Appearance \u0026amp; Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plant is biennial and herbaceous, forming a basal rosette of finely divided, light‑green leaves in its first year.

Its intense aroma also makes it a valuable ingredient in herb blends and natural cuisine. In traditional herbal medicine, caraway is additionally used to support the respiratory system, promote milk production during breastfeeding, and ease cramp‑like complaints. The seeds are suitable for herbal liqueurs, digestifs, and aromatic oil extracts, while the young leaves can be used fresh in salads or herb butter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCaraway grows reliably outdoors. It prefers sunny locations, well‑drained and rather nutrient‑poor soils, and tolerates dry conditions well. As a biennial, winter‑hardy, and low‑maintenance plant, it produces abundant flowers and seeds in its second year. The plants attract numerous beneficial insects such as wild bees, hoverflies, and honeybees, supporting ecological balance in the garden. Thanks to its natural self‑seeding, it reappears annually at suitable sites and is excellent for nature‑oriented, low‑maintenance herb and cottage gardens. Its taproot loosens the soil sustainably, improves soil structure, and makes the plant particularly resilient during heat periods. Caraway is also remarkably sturdy, requires minimal care, and maintains high yield stability even on poor, dry soils.

History\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNasturtium originates from the Andean regions of South America, where it grows in the highlands of Peru, Bolivia and Colombia. In the 16th century it reached Europe through Spanish and Dutch expeditions and quickly became popular as an ornamental and useful plant. Its edible leaves and flowers were especially valued, as well as the unripe seeds, which were pickled as “false capers.” Botanically, nasturtium belongs to the family Tropaeolaceae, subfamily Tropaeoloideae, and the genus \u003cem\u003eTropaeolum\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe first known mention appears in 1569 in the writings of the Spanish chronicler Nicolás Monardes, who described nasturtium in his work on the “new plants from the Indies,” highlighting its striking flowers and culinary value. The term “Indies” at that time did not refer to present‑day India but to the so‑called “West Indies,” a historical term for the Spanish colonies in the Americas. A few decades later, nasturtium appeared in European herbals as an exotic, colorful garden plant and spread quickly due to its spicy flavor and decorative blossoms.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the Baroque period it was considered an exotic curiosity; later it became established in monastic and cottage gardens as a robust, easy‑to‑grow crop. Its name refers to the shape of the flowers, which resemble the hood of Capuchin monks. Today, nasturtium is one of the most versatile ornamental and edible plants for natural gardens, balconies and self‑sufficiency beds, appreciated for its edible flowers, spicy aroma and strong attraction to pollinators.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt was also used medicinally at an early stage: in traditional South American herbal medicine, the fresh leaves were considered strengthening and cleansing, while the seeds, with their sharp aroma, were used for stimulating herbal preparations. In Europe, the plant was occasionally used in simple household remedies that relied on its peppery‑mustard‑like constituents. Its combination of culinary value, decorative appeal and natural vigor makes nasturtium one of the most popular garden plants with diverse uses to this day.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\" \u003e  Appearance \u0026amp; Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eplant \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eannual \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eforming \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003elong, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esoft \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eherbaceous, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eshoots \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethat, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edepending \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eon \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003evariety, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eeither \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecreep \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ealong \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eground \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eor \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eclimb \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewhen \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003egiven \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esupport. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eround, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eshield \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esmooth, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esucculent‑shaped \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eleaves \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eare \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003emildly \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003epeppery \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ein \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eflavor. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eflowers \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eappear \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ein \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003evivid \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecolors \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eattract \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003enumerous \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003epollinators. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNasturtium \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003enot \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewinter \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewhen \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eexposed \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eto‑hardy \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edies \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eback \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eich \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eauch \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ediesen \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003efrost.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHeight:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Medium, 60 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Herbaceous, creeping or climbing, with 100–150 cm runners\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLeaves:\u003c\/strong\u003e Round, shield‑shaped, juicy green\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orange to orange‑red, funnel‑shaped\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spicy‑hot, peppery, mustard‑like\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"91\" width=\"75\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Usage_Cultivation_Highlights_-_Verwendung_Anbau-Higlights_-_Utilizacao_e_Destaques_do_Cultivo_-_www.benjis.net_2f09de09-588a-47b6-ae70-802633c65d50.jpg?v=1763065990\" \u003e  Usage \u0026amp; Cultivation Highlights\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNasturtium is excellent for salads, raw dishes, herb butter, spreads, edible decorations and for pickling the unripe seeds. Leaves and flowers can be used fresh or incorporated into herb oils, flower salts and decorative dishes. The blossoms add color and a fine, spicy aroma to the kitchen. Young leaves can also be processed into mildly spicy pestos, while the sharp‑aromatic seeds offer a piquant alternative to peppercorns. Nasturtium also develops its characteristic aroma in herbal vinegars, aromatic oils and fresh summer lemonades. The flowers are suitable for colorful ice cubes, flower butter and delicate herbal infusions, and the leaves can add a peppery note to light soups or briefly sautéed vegetable dishes. In natural cuisine it is often used for colorful herb blends, decorative plate arrangements and fresh wild herb dishes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the garden, nasturtium impresses with rapid growth, high adaptability and its strong attraction to pollinators. It is ideal for natural gardens, mixed plantings, balcony boxes and climbing supports. As a classic “trap plant,” it attracts aphids and thus protects other crops. It thrives in sunny to partially shaded locations and grows reliably even in containers. The plant is easy to care for, regenerates quickly and provides fresh leaves and flowers over many weeks. Through self‑seeding it can establish itself permanently in suitable gardens. Its bright colors, spicy flavor and uncomplicated cultivation make it one of the most popular edible and ornamental plants for home gardeners and self‑sufficient growers.

A liquid manure made from the plant is an excellent nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer and strengthens the resistance of plants to pests and fungal diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99; color: #000000;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan style=\"color: #1f2124\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eGeneral information\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant family:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eBoraginaceae\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLife cycle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perennial\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDays to harvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 days\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlant height approx.:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 cm\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRoot type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep rooter, runner forming\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNutrient requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWater requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWinter hardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to -30°C\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLocation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sunny until semi shady\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Permeable, humus-rich sandy loam soil\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003epH value:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6,5 to 7,5\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003cu\u003eSowing and planting information\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGermination type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark and cold germinator\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSowing depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 cm\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOptimal germination temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-10 °C\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGermination time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20-30 days\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlant and row spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50x50 cm\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGermination ability of seeds:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 1-2\u0026nbsp;years\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eMixed culture\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptimal mixed culture:\u003c\/strong\u003e -\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnfavorable mixed culture:\u003c\/strong\u003e -\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eSowing by climate zone\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSubtropic climate (Mediterranean) (e. g.
