Jekka's Grow At Home Summer Herb Kit

Jekka's grow at home summer herb kit is all you need to start growing and using herbs; just add love and water. Perfect for children and adults alike.

At Jekka's we believe herbs are the most wonderfully diverse and useful plants, coming in all shapes and sizes, textures, colours, perfumes and uses. Not only do they turn a meal into a feast but a simple herb infusion can ease tension and lift the spirits.

We wish everyone to enjoy herbs and have developed this kit as a good starting point. It contains Jekka's special hand-mixed seedling compost as well as 5 packets of our seeds.

The perfect gift!

Jekka's grow at home herb kit contains the following 5 individual packets of culinary herb seeds:

• Basil (Ocimum): A staple in both Mediterranean kitchens and Asian cuisines. Lovely added to a stir-fry, in salads and pestos.
• Blue Hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis): Great for pollinators with its dense spikes of small dark blue/violet flowers and aromatic, green leaves. The leaves have a strong bitter minty flavour that can be used in marinades and with roast vegetables.
• Dill (Anethum graveolens): Wonderful culinary herb combining well with vegetables, fish or meat. It is said to improve the appetite and digestion as well as being a natural calmative.
• Summer Savory (Satureja hortensis): known as the bean herb as the leaves are cooked with all forms of beans and pulses.
• Wild Rocket (Diplotaxis muralis): The strong, peppery flavour of fresh Wild Rocket is phenomenal compared to shop bought rocket and can be added to salads or sandwiches or makes the most delicious pesto.
