Care
- If the plant is divided every 2-3 years and weak roots and shoots are removed, the reward is better growth and flowering vigour! - Too much fertiliser damages the herb's aroma! Herbs are well cared for in planters if they are given herb fertiliser once in spring. When planted out in the garden, a dose of compost at the start of the season is sufficient.
