A little look at Maillette lavender here at Hooksgreen! 🌿

We love the lovely purple flower spikes and that unmistakable lavender scent. Maillette is also well known for its use in the perfume industry.

If you’re thinking of growing this herb in your own garden, the key is plenty of sunshine and well-drained soil. Lavender really doesn’t like sitting in wet ground, especially over winter, so avoid overwatering.

A light trim after flowering will help keep it neat, but don’t cut too far back into the old woody stems.

And of course, the flowers are a favourite with bees too!

A little behind the scenes at Hooksgreen.

The nursery is ever changing, with new plants growing, moving and getting ready for their next home. Labelling is just one of the many little jobs that keep everything organised and correctly identified along the way.

There’s always something happening around the nursery, and no two days are quite the same!

Celery leaf (Apium graveolens) is a great one to have in the kitchen, with its concentrated celery flavour adding depth to soups, stocks and sauces.

The leaves can also be chopped into salads or used to finish savoury dishes.

A familiar flavour, but perhaps not a herb you’ve thought about using on its own!

Aloe vera has been used for centuries and has a long history in traditional skincare and herbal practices. The clear gel inside its fleshy leaves is widely used in skincare products, particularly for its soothing and moisturising properties.

As a succulent, it’s relatively easy to care for. Aloe vera prefers a bright spot with plenty of indirect sunlight and well-drained compost. Allow the compost to dry out between waterings, taking extra care not to overwater during the colder months.

A very useful plant to have around, and a lovely addition to a sunny windowsill. 🌱

As the seasons change, it’s worth giving your herbs a little extra attention.

Many perennial herbs will begin to slow their growth as temperatures drop, so be mindful of watering and make sure pots have good drainage, especially during wetter weather. Tender herbs may need to be moved under cover to protect them from cold nights and frost.

A few small adjustments now can help keep your herbs healthy through the colder months and ready for fresh growth when spring arrives.

Drop us a message if you would like some specific advice about caring for your herbs through the seasons.

The wonderfully aromatic leaves of Pelargonium tomentosum can be used to add a minty fragrance to homemade botanical projects. We also love walking past them in the greenhouse to get a burst of peppermint scent!

Ours are in the greenhouse here at the moment, for a good reason. This tender plant needs protection from the cold and frost, so keeping it under cover helps it through the colder months.

A perfect addition to a scented plant collection.

As the seasons change, it's time to give our herbs a little extra attention!

Orange-scented thyme brings a lovely burst of citrus fragrance to the garden, even as autumn settles in, however you may not know that this herb requires little attention once in the right position.

Swipe for a few tips on keeping this Mediterranean favourite happy as we head into the cooler months.

With its lovely fragrance and interesting uses, this perennial herb definitely deserves some love.

To add a subtle almond like flavour to your fruit and jams, simply add a small handful of fresh flowers to the pan whilst cooking your fruit, let them infuse and then remove them. We recommend starting with a little and tasting it as you go!

And by the way, Meadowsweet is coming back in stock at Hooksgreen Herbs, so keep an eye out to get your hands on this amazing herb.

Let's talk about how to keep your Purrsian Blue thriving.

1. Give this plant a sunny position in your garden, to optimise flowering and growth

2 . Choose well drained soil. Purrsian Blue is relatively drought tolerant, so it doesn’t need frequent watering once established

3. Trimming after the first flush of flowers encourages further growth

4. Bees love these flowers, so let some blooms remain to keep providing a food source for our busy pollinators!
