I ordered one plant and it came well packaged. It’s growing very big, very quickly and looks healthy!

I am still in awe of the care given to Wrapping and packing the herb plants. You know how you tuck a child in at night so they feel safe and protected? That is what I thought about when I opened the box! 🙂 such labor intensive care. Then the plants themselves! Healthy and strong. I can’t wait to send pictures as they develop. Peruse the packing pictures until then and order with confidence! Great work SMS!

Healthy viable plants, this year once the flowers died back I pruned back to give the other plants some successn. They were too pretty to compost so put a bundle of the tops in the greenhouse. Three days later they had imploded. Something caught my eye – kinda luminescent. What a wonder it was seeing the seeds everywhere, just like a dandelion. Each seed has it’s own propeller. Love it!
