This seed kit contains 5 typical aromatic plants of the Mediterranean:
-
Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)

-
Rosmary (Rosmarinus officinalis)
Rosemary is probably among the most important Mediterranean kitchen herbs and tastes delightful in combination with potatoes, red meat and courgettes. It is also a uniquely scented old medicinal plant, which can act as a natural pesticide.
-
Clary sage (Salvia sclarea)
Beautiful, splendid sage species with a strong, resinous smell, which has a slightly euphoric effect. Both on humans and cats.
