Just a quick note to say many thanks for organising the 'Fruit Tree Favourites' gift for my mother; she was so touched to receive the hand written Christmas Card with my personal message. This is my first attempt at purchasing gifts on-line since leaving the UK. Your service is fantastic - Thank You

A delightful little flowering herb.
Supplied as a packet of approximately 40 seeds.
This Product is Available Now.Also known as the Starflower this really is a pretty plant that deserves a spot in every garden.
The leaves and stems have a delicate cucumber flavour, making them perfect for chopping and adding to salads. Similarly the pretty purple-blue flowers are great for floating in summer drinks!
For teh ultimate Summer drinks decadence freeze individual flowers into ice cubes – perfect in Pimms!
It is also an excellent companion plant, especially when grown with pumpkins, squash, strawberries and tomatoes to encourage pollination.
Recommended by the RHS to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects.
