Herbal plants
Welcome to the aromatic world of herb plants, a realm where both flavor and foliage take center stage in your culinary and garden experiences. Here at Heijnen Plants, we pride ourselves on offering a diverse selection of high-quality herb plants, including the zesty Thymus × citriodorus 'Aureus', a lemon-scented thyme with golden-hued leaves that bring both taste and color to any dish or border. Additionally, we cultivate the elegant Agastache rugosa 'Alabaster', commonly known as white-flowered Korean mint, which not only adds a refreshing minty flavor to recipes but also graces gardens with its striking white blossoms. Our herb plants are nurtured with care, ready to flourish in your garden or on your windowsill, providing you with an accessible supply of fresh, aromatic herbs. Indulge in the joy of growing your own herbs and experience the difference in taste and vitality when you choose from our refined selection.
Cultivating a Herbal Haven
Herb plants, with their multifaceted uses, are a delightful addition to any garden. Whether you're looking to enhance your culinary creations or simply enjoy the sensory pleasure of a fragrant garden, Heijnen Plants provides an array of vibrant and robust herbs to suit your needs. Among the treasures in our collection is Thymus serpyllum, a creeping thyme that forms a fragrant ground cover, releasing its delightful scent with every step you take. For those seeking a touch of mystique, consider the Agastache 'Blue Fortune', whose lavender-blue spikes attract pollinators and add a dash of cool color to the summer garden.
A Symphony of Scents and Flavors
Herbs are the quintessential kitchen companions, elevating the flavors of countless dishes with their fresh or dried leaves. Imagine the refreshing twist that Thymus × citriodorus 'Silver Queen', with its variegated leaves and lemony zest, can bring to your recipes. The same goes for the traditional Thymus vulgaris, commonly known as common thyme, which is a staple in many cuisines around the world. For a more unusual culinary experiment, Ruta graveolens, or rue, offers a bitter, peppery taste often used to flavor grappa and other spirits.
Ornamental Herbs for Visual Delight
Not to be overshadowed by their culinary value, many herb plants double as ornamental gems. The Monarda 'Cambridge Scarlet', with its bright red bergamot flowers, is a striking sight and a magnet for hummingbirds and butterflies alike. Similarly, Santolina chamaecyparissus, also known as lavender cotton, dazzles with its silver foliage and yellow button flowers, creating a textured display in any sunny garden spot. These herbs not only provide visual interest but also bring a touch of nature's bounty to your doorstep.
Growing Your Herbal Collection
Caring for herb plants is a rewarding endeavor, and Heijnen Plants ensures that each plant arrives at your home with the strength to thrive. Agastache 'Black Adder', for example, is an undemanding perennial that asks for little more than a sunny spot and well-drained soil. In return, it offers spires of deep violet flowers and a licorice-like aroma that can captivate any passerby. When you choose to grow herbs, you're not just cultivating plants; you're fostering a living pantry and a natural decor, all in one. Our herbs come in sustainable packaging materials, ensuring that your green efforts are supported from the moment they leave our nursery until they take root in your garden.
