An old favourite for stews stuffings etc., mixed herbs and bouquet garni. Stimulates the appetite and helps the digestion of fatty foods. Helps repel cabbage root fly. Companion Plant: Grow close to cabbages, cauliflower, broccoli and brussels sprouts as it is a great deterrent of cabbage root-fly or cabbage worm.

Growing Instructions. Transplant when large enough to handle into 8cm (3in) pots. Later plant out 23- 30cm (9-12in) apart into well drained soil in full sun.
