until frost. Double blossoms can be 2-1/2 to 4 inches

across. Gorgeous in patio pots or mixed borders.

Calendula’s edible flowers and spicy leaves add zest

to summer salads and will draw plenty of ooohs and

ahhs when presented in a meal. Used in salves,

lotions and balms, the daisy-like flower is more

than a pretty face. It’s anti-inflammatory and

antibacterial properties are valued for soothing and

restoring the skin. Cold hardy annual, 18-24” tall.

musky, sweet and pungent, or spicy scent. Cleome

self-sew for next year.

BASIL Cinnamon & Lemon- (half and half) –

the king of herbs. It is

an annual that needs

drained soil and

protection from cold winds 6-pack

is a good companion plant for tomatoes, helping them

to grow strong and healthy,ward off insects.

OREGANO

Oregano is an

aggressive plant that

likes to spread and a

bush of oregano can

grow quite large if you

allow it. The stems can also grow up to 2 feet high

and will often lay down on the ground, particularly

when the plant is young or in the shade. For these

two reasons, it is best to give your oregano plants

plenty of room in the garden. Oregano is a satisfying

herb for any gardener. It is easy to grow and care for,

as long as it does not remain wet for too long.

Oregano grows very well in partial sun, making it a

good choice for an indoor garden as well.

PARSLEY Parsley is a lush plant

growing up to a foot

high in a beautiful

rosette of green foliage.

Try growing parsley

plants as companions

annuals, perennials,

and herbs in beds,

containers, and window boxes. containers, and

window boxes. Plants make a nice seasonal edging

and provide a striking contrast to colorful annuals,

like yellow pansies or bright pink petunias. Set

plants in full sun or partial shade and rich, moist

soil. Keep the soil moist. Keep roots cool and moist

by mulching around the plant, but don’t cover the

crown of the plant or the plant will risk getting rot.

In September, promote new foliage by cutting back

plants set out in the spring; this is especially true

for parsley plants grown in vegetable and herb beds

strictly for their harvest.

PEPPERMINT kitchen companions,

mints are used as

*garden accents,

*ground covers,

*air fresheners, and

*herbal medicines.

They’re as beautiful as they are functional, and

they’re foolproof to grow, thriving in sun and

shade all over North America. In fact, mint can

be vigorous spreaders, so be careful where you

plant it.

THYME

Aromatic leaves: season meats, poultry,

stews, sauces, soups

and dressings. Growing

and harvesting your

own thyme is like

having a little pot of

gold. The tiny little

leaves are the prize.

Thyme is like gold - I always

feel rich when I have a small

jar around.

CILANTRO

Needs full sun or light

shade in southern zones

since it bolts quickly in

hot weather.

It grows best in a well-

drained, moist soil.

Cilantro plants should

be spaced about 6” to 8” inches apart. To harvest

fresh cilantro all season, make successive sowings

every 2 to 3 weeks starting in late spring. From the

time of sowing seed, cilantro leaves can begin to be

harvested in about 3 to 4 weeks. Cilantro seeds can

be harvested in about 45 days.

NEW GUINEA

(Impatiens Mix) –

If you love the look of

impatiens but your

flower beds get strong

sunshine for part of the

day, New Guinea

impatiens will fill your

yard with color.

Unlike classic impatiens plants, which are shade

lovers, New Guinea impatiens flowers tolerate up to

half a day of sun in most parts of the country. These

colorful blooms come in bright shades from lavender

to orange, spanning the rainbow with a choice of

bedding colors. Keep the plants well-watered

throughout the hottest parts of the year. Flower

beds on the east side of a building, which get

morning sunshine and afternoon shade, are ideal

locations for these plants. Each plant will grow into

a rounded mound, and if planted 18 inches apart,

they’ll grow to fill in the entire space in a matter of

weeks. None of the varieties of this plant can

tolerate drought very well, so keep the soil moist

with soaker hoses or other watering devices. This

plant can be a heavy feeder, so give it monthly

feedings of a low-nitrogen plant food.

TORENIA –

BANQUET GOLD - Large gold wish-

bone flowers sport a

purple throat. Easy to
