Herb Alfresco – Pre-Planted Herb Speedplanter (7 Plants)

A ready planted container of seven kitchen herbs, chosen and planted for you and ready to pick from the day it arrives.

The planter is filled in Yorkshire with a grower selected mix of culinary herbs, spaced so they knit together into a full container within a few weeks. Every plant goes in with a well developed root system, so there is no potting up, no compost to buy and nothing to plant. It is put in place and picked from.

Stand it in sun or light shade, somewhere close to the kitchen door where it will actually get used. Water when the top of the compost feels dry and pick little and often from the outside of each plant to keep the whole container bushy. The plants are fed at planting with a controlled release fertiliser, so they keep growing for months without extra feeding.

The exact herbs vary with what is cropping best at the nursery.
