❤️ Why you'll love it
A carefully chosen collection of traditional healing herbs and wild botanicals, grown for centuries to soothe, restore, and reconnect you with nature’s remedies.
🌿 Details
ST JOHN'S WORT (Hypericum perforatum): The midsummer herb, harvested at the solstice when its resinous buds bleed red like the sun at its peak. Used for centuries as a nervine and wound herb; the subject of more modern clinical research than almost any other European plant. Flowers over a long season, self-seeds gently, tolerates most soils. The folklore is extraordinary- protective, solar, and deeply tied to the turning year.
LEMON BALM (Melissa officinalis): Named for the bees that have always crowded it. One of the great calming herbs of the Western tradition, it belongs to every apothecary garden worth the name. Reliably perennial, vigorous once established, and genuinely one of the most pleasant plants to brush past on a summer evening. Fresh leaf tea needs no preparation beyond hot water.
MARSHMALLOW (Althaea officinalis): A tall, soft-stemmed beauty- pale pink flowers, velvety leaves, and a root that has been used as a demulcent for the throat, gut, and urinary system since antiquity. Needs space and a reasonably moisture-retentive soil, but rewards that with height, presence, and genuine medicinal utility. The original marshmallow confection was made from its root.
DOG ROSE (Rosa canina): The wild rose of hedgerows and chalk downland- thorny, arching, and brief-flowered in the most exquisite way. Its hips are one of the most vitamin C-rich fruits available in the British landscape and have been harvested through every war and shortage. Left to its own devices it will form a significant shrub; given a fence or wall it will climb. Unfussy, wildlife-rich, and steeped in folklore from Culpeper to the present day.
MOTHERWORT (Leonurus cardiaca): The bitter herb of women's traditions- used historically for anxiety, palpitations, and reproductive health, and increasingly studied for its cardiac and nervine properties. It is assertive in habit and looks, with deeply lobed leaves and whorled pink flowers on tall stems. Not a soft herb. One of those plants that feels ancient to grow, because it is..
