5 Herbs to Know and Grow
by

Looking for something new to grow? I chose five herbs, two annuals and three perennials, that are easy to grow and a little out of the ordinary. They require no maintenance, are rarely eaten by deer, and like most herbs, have a usefulness outside of their obvious garden beauty.
Borage – borago officinalis
Pot Marigold – calendula officinalis
Lady’s Mantle – alchemilla mollis
Enjoyed the project?

Patti @Hearth and Vine on Jan 28, 2015Ah well, then it fits into the off-the-beaten-path I guess. Many years ago I was obsessed with herbs and even opened an herbal gift shop with my sister. I have several books on the subject and some of my projects on the blog came from that time. I use Alchemilla for a nice border in the garden and the pretty flowers in bouquets etc... but I can be used medicinally and the new leaf growth is supposed to be edible. I think that is why it falls into the category of an herb.
