Back when Jekka's was Jekka's Herb Farm we used to produce a weekly "Looking Good List" which we then faxed (if you remember what one of those are) to garden centres and shops.
The list of herbs below is our modern day equivalent of what we think is looking particularly good on the herb farm at the moment and therefore, ready for a Herb Farm Collection or for pre-order for an Open Day. Please note, our herb plants are not available via mail order but we do offer a limited selection of Jekka's Culinary Herb Boxes.
This is not an exhaustive herb list, as we grow over 400 different types of culinary & medicinal herbs, but it is a good start to understand what is in season. In Spring, new plants will be propagated and potted up continuously.
Click on the botanical name to be taken to the herb plant page. An 'x' denotes availability at that size; for reference, a 1 Ltr pot has roughly a 13 cm diameter and a 2 Ltr pot has roughly a 17 cm diameter. Due to demand, plants are available in 2 Ltrs.
Please note:
- A limited number of Curry Trees (Bergera koenigii) are available to buy. Please email sales@jekkas.com and sign up to our waiting list.
- As we pot up, as herbs grow, plants listed as available in 1 Ltr will be in 2 ltrs.
- As the weather warms, new plants will come available, likely faster than we can update this list. Therefore, please do send an enquiry if something you are after is missing. Check out the full plant list for details.
- Basils are typically available from the May Open Days (tickets here). Seeds available all year round.
