Overview

An evergreen that is grown for its lustrous, aromatic, dark green leaves rather than for the rather insignificant clusters of greenish-yellow flowers it bears in spring. The aromatic leaves are valuable used fresh or dried, for flavouring many savoury stocks, sauces and dishes. You could also use it with spices to add interesting depth to sweet dishes too. This handsome versatile plant is a kitchen garden classic that will thrive in most conditions, provided it is sheltered from strong winds. At home in formal planting schemes as well as a herb pot just outside the back door it can be easily clipped into a strong shape. This slow-growing evergreen is also perfect for screening and makes a lovely foil for deciduous flowering shrubs. These plants are supplied as untrained bushes, although they can be trained into most shapes, such as balls or pyramids. You will need some patience to train them into topiary shapes though as they are quite slow-growing.
