Our Feedback
Thank you all very much for the two trees that arrived yesterday. As you may remember they were for my wife's birthday and she was absolutely delighted. We have followed the instructions and they are now looking very nice in our small but crammed garden. They were well packed and even as she unwrapped them she had no idea what they were, a perfect surprise.
So impressed was she with the service, I think other orders may follow.

Description
These were much favoured by the Victorians for their distinctive highly scented foliage when squeezed between finger and thumb.
Perfume of citron, peppermint, sandalwood, orange, and apple are but some of the scents. The leaves were put to use to scent fine linen and of course pot pourri, and also for flavouring in cooking.
The pale pink or white flowers are very pretty too although not so dominant as the large flowered border Geraniums.
These can be grown in the garden, window box, conservatory and window sill.
- Flower intermittently throughout the year.
- Grow to approximately 3 - 4 feet (90 - 120 cm) tall but can be kept as small as you wish by regular pruning.
- Thrive in full sun.
- Drought tolerant once established.
- Plant 2½ feet (75 cm) apart.
- Frost tender - so ensure these are given winter protection.
