This selection of herbs and spices is designed for growing in large pots on a balcony. These aromatic varieties can be used in cooking, to make herb teas or to add to other fresh drinks.
A warm, sunny, well-ventilated balcony spot would be perfect for growing them.

Highly fragrant mint with a distinctive spearmint taste.
