This chive is known for its strong, upright growth and its medium-strong, taut stalks. The dark green leaves have an intense chive flavor. Its aroma keeps many known pests away from strawberries and tomatoes. Roses also benefit from its close proximity. The many health benefits are also evident in its healing effects; it has antibacterial properties, lowers blood pressure and aids digestion.

The fresh leaves give cold and warm dishes a cress‑like, sharp‑spicy aroma and pair well with soups, stews, herb butter and hearty winter dishes. The plant also develops its full flavour in fillings, pan dishes or as a fresh topping. The young buds can be pickled like capers, and the leaves can be dried or frozen for herb blends. Traditionally, winter cress was valued for its mustard oils and vitamin C content and used for spring fatigue, blood cleansing and skin irritations. Internally, it is considered stimulating and strengthening in smoothies, teas and light spring dishes. To this day, it remains a versatile winter herb that enriches the diet during the cold season.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWintercress thrives reliably in open ground, polytunnels and pots. The plant is easy to care for, winter‑hardy and harvestable over many months. Its flowers attract numerous beneficial insects, and thanks to its robust nature it continues to grow steadily even in less ideal soils, regenerates well after cutting and thus remains usable for a long time. The long‑lived, winter‑green rosette is excellent for winter beds and naturalistic gardens and shows a high tolerance to frost and fluctuating weather conditions. In addition, winter cress germinates reliably, tolerates temporary waterlogging better than many other herbs and remains vigorous even in partial shade. The rosette provides fresh foliage even in winter, and the plant is slow to bolt, which allows for a long harvest period. Thanks to its natural resilience and adaptability, it is ideal for uncomplicated, sustainable herb beds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cem\u003eCompared with other well‑known

Its original range extends from Europe through western to central Asia. Today it is cultivated in many regions of northern and eastern Africa as well as in temperate and subtropical climates worldwide, and in some of these areas it can also be found naturalised. It prefers clear, cool, flowing water and grows at springs, streams, ditches and moist sites, where it thrives partly fully submerged and partly on muddy banks. It is considered an indicator plant for clean, clear running waters. The name “Brunnenkresse” derives from the Middle High German \u003cem\u003ebrunne\u003c\/em\u003e for spring or spring water and refers to its typical habitat.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe true watercress is among the oldest documented European wild vegetables and was already valued in antiquity as both a medicinal and food plant.

Its natural range includes moist meadows, floodplains, woodland edges and extensively grazed pastures in temperate climates. Early on it was valued as a refreshing spring herb whose lemony‑sour leaves provided important vitamins after winter.

In the 12th century, Hildegard of Bingen described sorrel as a cooling, cleansing herb that “clarifies the body’s juices”. Renaissance herbals, including the \u003cem\u003eNew Kreüterbuch\u003c\/em\u003e of 1543, refer to it as a refreshing leafy vegetable and a component of spring soups, appreciated for its invigorating qualities and high vitamin C content.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn European folk cuisine, sorrel served for centuries as an important spring vegetable, especially in regions with long winters. In France it became a staple of classical cooking, particularly in the traditional \u003cem\u003esoupe à l’oseille\u003c\/em\u003e. In folk medicine it was used as a mild digestive herb, a cooling remedy for sensations of heat and as an ingredient in herbal teas.

In traditional cuisine it is used for creamy sorrel soups, herb fillings, fish dishes and fresh herb pastes. The leaves dry or freeze well and retain their flavour. Sorrel also refines herb oils, vinegars and light marinades, works wonderfully in cold summer sauces, herb quark and fresh spreads, and adds a fine lemony freshness to vegetable sautés, risottos and stews.

By the early 20th century the variety was documented under its present name. It originated through peasant selection and was preserved as a decorative, bolt‑resistant Romaine lettuce with its characteristic speckling. The name “Forellenschluss” refers to the reddish‑brown spots on the leaves, reminiscent of a trout’s markings. While such leaf patterns were often considered a flaw and bred out over time, 'Forellenschluss' remained one of the exceptions and developed into a valued specialty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom Austria the variety spread into Central Europe and by the early 20th century also reached North America, where it became known as “Trout Back” or “Freckles.” Its striking leaf pattern and robust, bolt‑resistant nature made it a popular heirloom variety that is still cultivated in gardens today. 'Forellenschluss' is regarded as a symbol of conserving historic cultivated varieties and is preserved as an open‑pollinated alternative to modern hybrids.\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 grows upright and forms semi‑open heads reaching about 30 cm in height.

They harmonize beautifully with fresh herbs, citrus dressings, and light vinaigrettes, and also work well as a base for summer grill platters, providing a crunchy bed for meat or vegetables.

It shows remarkable adaptability to different soil types and climatic conditions, making it reliable even in regions with variable weather. Its good heat tolerance makes it less prone to premature bolting in subtropical summers.

Its natural range includes moist meadows, stream banks, light woodlands and extensively managed grasslands in temperate climates. Early on it was valued as a mild, refreshing spring herb whose red‑veined leaves stood out not only for their flavour but also for their striking appearance. Botanically, it belongs to the knotweed family (Polygonaceae), subfamily Polygonoideae, and the genus \u003cem\u003eRumex\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe earliest known mention of red‑veined dock appears in 1588 in Jacques Daléchamps’ \u003cem\u003eHistoria Generalis Plantarum\u003c\/em\u003e, where \u003cem\u003eRumex sanguineus\u003c\/em\u003e is described as a distinct wild plant with its characteristic red‑veined foliage. In the following centuries it appears in additional European herbals, including English and Dutch works of the 17th century, where it is listed as “red‑veined sorrel” or “roodaderzuring”. These early sources highlight both its ornamental qualities and its milder, pleasantly sour taste, which distinguishes it from other sorrel species.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn folk cuisine, red‑veined dock was primarily used as a tender spring herb, adding a fine acidity to soups, herbal porridges and fresh herb mixtures. In some regions its red‑veined leaves were seen as a symbol of vitality and were traditionally included in spring tonics. In traditional herbal practice it served as a mild digestive herb, a cooling plant for sensations of heat and as an ingredient in simple herbal teas. In Eastern European and Caucasian regions it was occasionally used to support blood purification and as a mineral‑rich early‑season green.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith the rise of naturalistic gardening and the renewed appreciation of native wild plants in the 20th century, red‑veined dock gained fresh significance. It became valued not only as a useful edible but also as a decorative perennial combining ornamental and culinary qualities. Today it is considered an important wild perennial for ecological gardens — robust, long‑lived and harvestable early in the year. Its decorative appearance, high tolerance to frequent cutting and mild, pleasantly sour flavour make it a versatile and tradition‑rich culinary herb.\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\u003edeveloping \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ea \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edense \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003erosette \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eof \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eelongated, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ered‑veined \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eleaves. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003elate \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003espring \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eit \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eproduces \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eupright, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ereddish‑green \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eflower \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003estalks. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRed‑veined \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esorrel \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eforms \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ea \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eshallow \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eto \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003emoderately \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edeep \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eroot \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esystem \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\u003eabout \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e–15 °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 Medium, 30–50 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Herbaceous, rosette‑shaped, clump‑forming, with upright flowering stems\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLeaves:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elongated, green with striking red veins, 15–25 cm long\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reddish‑green, loosely paniculate\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mildly sour, fresh, lightly lemony\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\u003eRed‑veined dock is excellent for salads, herb butter, pestos, soups, sauces, smoothies and fresh spring dishes. Young leaves are especially tender, while older ones are ideal for steaming or puréeing. In modern cuisine it is used in herb blends, green sauces, light vegetable dishes and as a decorative element on plates. The leaves freeze well or can be gently dried, retaining part of their aroma. Red‑veined sorrel also enhances herb oils, vinegars, marinades, herb quark and spreads, and adds a clear, refreshing note to drinks such as herbal lemonades or green juices. Dried leaves are suitable for tea blends, while finely chopped sorrel enriches herb salts, spice mixes and light fillings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the garden, red‑veined dock impresses with its robustness, vitality and high tolerance to frequent cutting. It grows reliably in beds, herb spirals, natural gardens and moist locations. Its clump‑forming growth ensures strong regeneration after each harvest, and it remains vigorous even in partial shade. The plant is easy to care for, regenerates quickly and provides fresh leafy greens over many months. It supports biodiversity, pairs well with other wild and cultivated plants and is ideal for ecological self‑sufficiency. It also thrives reliably in larger containers, producing aromatic leaves for years. Red‑veined sorrel is among the first fresh leafy vegetables of the year, sprouting very early in spring and remaining partially evergreen in mild winters. It is largely disease‑resistant, copes well with fluctuating rainfall and stabilises the soil with its root system.

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.

History\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Küttiger Rüebli' is an open‑pollinated carrot variety from the canton of Aargau in Switzerland, documented since the 19th century. The variety belongs to the traditional landraces that were cultivated and passed down over many generations in the region of Küttigen. Botanically, it belongs to the family Apiaceae, the subfamily Apioideae, and the genus \u003cem\u003eDaucus\u003c\/em\u003e within the species \u003cem\u003eDaucus carota\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name 'Küttiger Rüebli' refers both to the characteristic white color of its roots and to its origin in the village of Küttigen. For a long time, the variety was considered a reliable late‑season type that produced stable yields even under cooler conditions and was valued for its good storability. Its white coloration corresponds to older European carrot types that were widespread before orange varieties became dominant and served as everyday root vegetables in many regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespite the later rise of modern, sweeter carrot cultivars, it survived in its region of origin and continued to be used traditionally.

History\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘Guérande’ is an open‑pollinated French heirloom carrot first mentioned in 1873. It originated in the region around Guérande in Brittany, where local gardeners and farmers developed, through repeated selection, a particularly compact, heart‑shaped, and robust root. Botanically, the variety belongs to the family Apiaceae, subfamily Apioideae, and the genus \u003cem\u003eDaucus\u003c\/em\u003e within the species \u003cem\u003eDaucus carota\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring the late 19th century, ‘Guérande’ spread beyond France and became known in many European countries under different names. The German name ‘Ochsenherz’ and the English ‘Oxheart’ refer to its characteristic broad, tapering, heart‑shaped root, which clearly differs from the longer, cylindrical types. Because of its stocky form, it was long considered a particularly reliable carrot for regions with heavy or stony soils, where deep‑rooting varieties often become misshapen or of lower quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn its region of origin, the variety was cultivated over many generations and remained valued even after the rise of modern, long‑rooted types. Today, ‘Guérande’ is regarded as one of the historic French carrot varieties whose regional significance, genetic stability, and characteristic flavour have ensured its preservation into the present. As a traditional landrace, it stands as an example of the diversity of early European vegetable culture and continues to be appreciated and maintained.\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\u003eIn \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003efirst \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eyear, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eplants \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eform \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ea \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecompact \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eleaf \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003erosette \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewith \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eleaves \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ereaching \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eabout \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e30–45 cm \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ein \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003elength. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eroots \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eare \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eorange‑red, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eshort, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eheart‑shaped, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003etypically \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ereach \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e8–12 cm \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ein \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003elength. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrost‑tolerant \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eto \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003earound \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e–6 °C.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoot 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 to medium, roots 8–12 cm long\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Short, heart‑shaped, stocky\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orange‑red\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTexture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Firm, juicy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet, aromatic, intense\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\u003eThe roots of ‘Guérande’ are suitable for fresh use as well as for cooked and steamed dishes.

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. Passed down through generations, this species is now regarded as part of Europe’s cultural heritage.\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;

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.

Wild rocket is a pioneer plant and the original form of the well-known rocket as we know it today.

The dried shoots are used for incense, herb bundles and naturopathic preparations. In many regions of Europe it is considered a classic throat and voice herb and has been used for soothing herbal blends for centuries. 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. The burr‑like fruits are also suitable for nature projects and wild plant courses that demonstrate the dispersal strategies of native plants.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAgrimony grows reliably outdoors, along paths, on poor meadows and in naturalistic gardens. The plant is easy to care for, winter hardy and can be harvested for many years. Its flowers attract numerous beneficial insects and strengthen ecological balance. 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. Once established it requires little care, responds well to cutting, sprouts reliably again and supports a wide range of pollinators over many weeks due to its long flowering period.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cem\u003eCompared to other wild herbs, common agrimony is a particularly versatile, gentle medicinal and tea plant with high cultural value – ideal for anyone who appreciates robust, perennial wild herbs with traditional uses and strong benefits for insects.\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":"1g -

In damp weather and especially in the morning hours, lady's mantle secretes water from special glands on the edge of the leaf, which collects as drops in the middle of the leaf.

Botanically, it belongs to the verbena family (Verbenaceae), the subfamily Verbenoideae and the genus \u003cem\u003eVerbena\u003c\/em\u003e. This cultivated wild form corresponds to the naturally occurring populations of Europe, North Africa and Western Asia, and was grown early on in monastic and medicinal gardens after being collected, propagated and introduced into cultivation since antiquity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs early as the 1st century, Dioscorides in \u003cem\u003eDe materia medica\u003c\/em\u003e and Pliny the Elder in the \u003cem\u003eNaturalis historia\u003c\/em\u003e described common vervain as an important medicinal and ritual plant. In Celtic and Germanic traditions it was regarded as a sacred herb for protective and cleansing rites, while in Roman culture it was used as an offering and purification plant under the name “herba sacra”.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring the Middle Ages and the early modern period, common vervain held a firm place in monastic and medicinal gardens, valued for its calming, cleansing and anti‑inflammatory properties. Through trade routes, pilgrimage paths and monastic plant‑exchange networks, it spread across Europe and remained a constant element of traditional garden culture due to its robustness, long flowering period and medicinal significance. To this day it is cultivated in medicinal gardens and naturalistic plantings and is considered one of the most culturally significant healing plants of Eurasia.\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\u003eplants \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eform \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eupright, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eslender \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eclumps. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eflowers \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eare \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edelicate \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003epale‑lilac \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eto \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003elight \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eviolet, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esmall \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003earranged \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ein \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003elong, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003efine \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003espikes. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTypical \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003efeatures \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003einclude \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003efour‑angled \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003estems \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edeeply \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecut, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003elanceolate \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eleaves. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardy \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edown \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eto \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 Medium to tall, 50–100 cm high and approx. 35 cm wide\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, slender, clump‑forming\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlower colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pale lilac to light violet\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering period:\u003c\/strong\u003e June to September\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScent:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lightly aromatic, herbal\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\u003eCommon vervain has traditionally been used to prepare herbal tea, valued for its calming and relaxing properties.

In addition, it serves as an important nectar source for bees and as a versatile medicinal herb in folk medicine.

The species is resistant to slugs, hardy and well suited to mixed plantings with Mediterranean herbs and wild perennials. It establishes quickly, closes open soil patches and regenerates reliably after pruning or dry spells. Without becoming invasive, it shows good competitive strength, remains long‑lived and floriferous even in extensively managed areas, and is largely resistant to disease.

antiquity across Europe, Western Asia and North Africa. Its natural range includes moist meadows, riverbanks, marshlands and nutrient‑rich floodplains of temperate climates. In Greek and Roman medicine it was already valued as a soothing, calming herb whose roots and leaves were applied for coughs, inflammations and skin irritations. Botanically, it belongs to the mallow family (Malvaceae), subfamily Malvoideae, and the genus \u003cem\u003eAlthaea\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe earliest known reference appears around 460–370 BC in the Hippocratic writings, followed by Dioscorides in the 1st century AD, who describes marshmallow as one of the most important mucilage‑rich medicinal herbs. Pliny the Elder (79 AD) mentions it as a beneficial plant for food and healing preparations. During the Middle Ages it was cultivated in nearly all monastic gardens; Hildegard of Bingen (12th century) praised its cooling and soothing properties. In the Renaissance, Leonhart Fuchs included it in his \u003cem\u003eNew Kreüterbuch\u003c\/em\u003e (1543) as a versatile medicinal plant with a broad range of applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarshmallow also played a notable cultural role through its use in early confections: as early as late antiquity, and later in the Arab world, sweet, airy medicinal treats were made from its mucilage‑rich root extract to soothe the throat and respiratory tract. In 19th‑century France, these preparations evolved into the first form of the modern “marshmallow” — a soft confection originally made from concentrated marshmallow root sap before being replaced by gelatin and sugar. This makes \u003cem\u003eAlthaea officinalis\u003c\/em\u003e one of the few medicinal plants that shaped both medical and culinary history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor centuries, marshmallow remained a central herb of folk medicine. The root served as a base for cough syrups, mucilage preparations and soothing cold infusions, while the leaves and flowers were used for teas and topical applications. With the renewed interest in natural gardening in the 20th century, marshmallow experienced a revival as a robust, low‑maintenance and ecologically valuable wild perennial. Today it is considered an indispensable medicinal plant for natural gardens, herb beds and self‑sufficient growers — appreciated for its versatility, vitality and long tradition in herbal medicine.\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\u003eforming \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eclumps, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003egrows \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewith \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eupright, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esoftly \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehairy \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003estems \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003evelvety \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003egrey‑green \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eleaves. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esummer \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eit \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eproduces \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003enumerous \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003epale \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003epink \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eflowers \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethat \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eattract \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ea \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewide \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003erange \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eof \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003epollinators. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMarshmallow \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edevelops \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ea \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003estrong, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edeep‑reaching \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003etaproot \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis \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 Medium to tall, 120–150 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 Velvety, grey‑green, rounded‑lobed\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pale pink, mallow‑like, in loose clusters\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mild, soft, slightly sweet, rich in mucilage\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\u003ePerennial marshmallow is excellently suited for teas, cold infusions, cough syrups, herbal baths, salves, tinctures and gentle herbal preparations. The leaves can be used fresh or dried for tea blends, herbal oils and soothing applications, while the root is traditionally employed for calming extracts, pastes and cough remedies. The flowers serve as a decorative, edible ingredient that enhances teas, herbal mixtures and natural cosmetics. Dried plant material retains its quality for a long time, making it ideal for storage and herbal use. Marshmallow is also suitable for skincare preparations, soothing compresses, gargle solutions and plant‑based syrups that protect mucous membranes and ease irritation. The root is well suited for plant‑based gel preparations traditionally used for dry or sensitive skin. In the kitchen, young leaves can be used as a mild wild vegetable in soups, herbal porridges or gently steamed dishes, while the flowers enrich herbal lemonades, floral sugars and decorative spreads. Marshmallow is occasionally used in incense and aromatic blends, as the dried plant parts develop a soft, warm, herbaceous scent.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the garden, marshmallow impresses with its robustness, winter hardiness and its ability to thrive reliably even in moist soils. The deep taproot ensures strong regeneration and makes it a long‑lived, low‑maintenance perennial. It supports biodiversity, attracts numerous pollinators and pairs well with other wild and medicinal plants. Marshmallow is suitable for natural gardens, herb beds, cottage gardens and moist sites, yet also grows reliably in large containers. The plant is largely disease‑resistant, tolerates fluctuating rainfall and stabilizes the soil with its root structure. Even with repeated cutting it remains vigorous and productive — ideal for continuous harvesting and low‑maintenance garden areas. It shows high tolerance to temporary waterlogging and thrives in both heavy clay soils and humus‑rich sand‑loam mixtures. Its velvety leaves and delicate flowers add a soft, natural aesthetic to beds and waterside plantings, while its calm growth habit provides structure in naturalistic designs. With its early spring emergence, it is among the first vital perennials of the year, and its long flowering period supports pollinators over many weeks. Once established, it withstands summer heat and dry spells reliably.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cem\u003eCompared to many other medicinal plants, marshmallow is exceptionally versatile, ecologically valuable and deeply rooted in tradition — an ideal choice for anyone seeking a robust, productive and historically significant medicinal and wild herb.\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\/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 - 200 seeds","offer_id":44315875180863,"sku":"","price":2.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/benjis-seeds-althaea-officinalis-marsh-mallow-product-seeds-01.webp?v=1785766321"},{"product_id":"chervis-sugarroot","title":"Chervis Sugarroot [Sium sisarum]","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe perennial sugarroot is a very old, hardy and forgotten original root vegetable variety with a very high sugar content.

Today, the very vigorous oil radish is not only used for oil production, but also as a fodder and foundation plant. Due to its nematode-reducing properties, high biomass, and deep, strong roots, the species is particularly suitable for slightly compacted, poorly draining, and humus-poor soils.
