If our Painted Sage isn't your thing, or you want a plant already grown and thriving. You can't go wrong with our Garden Sage / Salvia Officinalis. Still going strong throughout the drought we've had, this formidable plant can withstand some pretty tough conditions! Native to the Mediterranean, this small perennial evergreen features woody stems and lovely foliage that you can harvest for much of the year.

Thriving in full sun and light, well-drained soil, sage is a fantastic multi-tasker that doubles as a gorgeous ornamental plant. In the kitchen, its slight peppery taste is a must for flavouring fatty meats, rich stuffings, sauces, soft cheeses, and pickles. For a delicious treat, try frying the leaves in hot oil until crispy and sprinkling them over a pork chop or a fried egg on toast with a touch of chilli flakes!

Beyond cooking, a simple tea steeped from the leaves has a long history of traditional use as a soothing remedy for sore throats, coughs, and digestion.

Potted Garden Sage plants are available to buy online on our website!

While our popular Painted Sage plants have completely sold out, you can still enjoy this stunning beauty in your garden by growing it from seed!

Also known as Annual Clary Sage, Bluebeard, or Joseph’s Sage, this decorative plant is an absolute showstopper. It has an elegant, upright habit with hairy, toothed leaves and spikes of tiny flowers enclosed by large, vibrant bracts in shades of green, pink, and purple. They are a magnet for bees and pollinators throughout the summer!

While it is primarily grown as a flowering garden plant, both the leaves and flowers can also be used to add a unique flavour to your favourite food and drinks.

It is easy to get started. Simply sow your seeds in pots or module trays this spring, cover them with vermiculite, and plant them out once they are large enough to handle. Head to our website to grab your seeds and get growing at home!

Bring a splash of stunning colour to your garden and kitchen with Tricolour Sage (Salvia officinalis 'Tricolor')! This small perennial evergreen features gorgeous grey-green leaves lined with cream and purple, soft nearly-white undersides, and lovely lilac-blue flowers in late spring and summer. Growing to about 1m tall and wide, it is just as popular as a striking ornamental border plant as it is for its culinary and herbal uses.

Thriving in full sun and light, well-drained soil, this resilient herb will reward you with harvestable leaves for much of the year. In the kitchen, its slight peppery taste is a classic for flavouring fatty meats, stuffing, sauces, soft cheeses, and pickles. You can even try frying the leaves in hot oil until crispy to sprinkle over a pork chop or fried egg on toast! Plus, a simple tea steeped from the leaves has a long history as a soothing remedy for coughs, sore throats, and digestion.

Potted Tricolour Sage plants are available to buy online all year round. Add this beautiful, multi-tasking herb to your collection.

Delicately onion-flavoured and wonderfully versatile, chives are an absolute must-have for any herb garden. Not only are they delightfully easy to grow in both beds and containers, but they also produce gorgeous, pom-pom-like purple flowers in the summer that bees and pollinators simply adore.

Chives are a brilliant all-rounder in the kitchen. Chop the fresh green leaves to sprinkle over baked potatoes, stir into scrambled eggs, fold into homemade herb butter, or mix into salads and dressings for a subtle, savoury zing. Even the vibrant edible flowers make a stunning, colourful garnish for your dishes!

Thriving in full sun or partial shade, they will reward you with fresh growth all season long. Add a pot to your garden today!

There are few herbs as versatile, fragrant, and rewarding as mint. Whether you are growing it for refreshing summer drinks, flavouring desserts, or just enjoying its wonderful aroma in the garden, it is an absolute must-have. Wonderfully easy to grow in both the ground and containers, regular picking only encourages more lush growth, so you can harvest it again and again all season long!

Beyond classic mint sauce, there are endless ways to enjoy it; from stirring chopped leaves into buttery new potatoes and adding a cooling twist to summer salads, to brewing hot or iced mint tea and garnishing mojitos. With so many incredible varieties to explore, we grow an ever-expanding collection at Hooksgreen Herbs. Try the sweet, authentic flavour of Moroccan Mint, the soft, fruity aroma and bee-friendly flowers of Apple Mint, the striking silvery-grey ornamental foliage of Silver Mint, or the warm, spicy ginger notes of Ginger Mint.

Bring a zesty twist to your garden and kitchen with Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis)! Part of the mint family, this robust perennial produces gorgeous lemon-scented foliage and reaches up to 1m tall. It is wonderfully easy to grow, though it can be a bit of a garden bully if left to its own devices!

Beyond its culinary appeal, this "gladdening herb" has a rich history in herbal medicine for soothing stress, easing mild anxiety, and promoting restful sleep. Summer brings nectar-filled flower spikes that bees adore, hence its genus name, Melissa, meaning honey bee in Greek. Harvest it all summer long to brew soothing teas, flavour dishes, or crush the leaves to repel insects.

Thriving in full sun or partial shade across most well-drained soils, these potted plants are available to buy online through to September. Add one to your herb garden today!

This August you can find us at the and for the Country Craft and Food show. We hope to see you there!
