Herbs and Medicinal

Many garden perennials are in fact ancient herbs which were once widely used in herbal folk medicine, and now have been forgotten with the widespread distribution of modern pharmaceuticals. If you are interested in the history and uses of these perennial herbs you may also be interested to view our perennial plant list.

Catmint

Nepeta faasenii. Attractive long flowering plant useful in the garden for path edgings or mass planting amongst Santolina, Chamomile, rosemary and other perennial herbs. A better garden plant than Nepeta cataria which is the cat attracting variety.
