Dianthus barbatus
Tall Single Mix is a classic Sweet William producing dense clusters of beautifully fragrant single flowers in a broad range of pink, white, mauve and red shades, often with attractive contrasting markings and bi-coloured patterns.
Growing on tall, upright stems, this old-fashioned cottage garden favourite is excellent for borders, mass plantings and cutting gardens. The sweetly scented flowers have a good vase life and are highly attractive to bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects.
The flowers are also edible, with petals offering a mild, sweet clove-like flavour. They can be scattered through salads, used to decorate cakes and biscuits or added as a colourful garnish to drinks and other dishes. Remove the bitter white base of the petals before eating.
Sweet William is generally grown as a biennial or short-lived perennial and performs particularly well in cooler conditions. Plants prefer full sun to partial shade with fertile, well-drained soil.

Tanacetum vulgare
Tansy is a hardy, long-lived perennial herb valued for its attractive fern-like foliage, clusters of bright golden-yellow button flowers and its many traditional uses in the garden. Growing to around 90 cm tall, it forms vigorous clumps that provide texture, colour and habitat for beneficial insects throughout the growing season.
For centuries, Tansy has been cultivated as a companion plant and household herb. Its strongly aromatic foliage contains natural oils that have traditionally been used to help deter a range of insect pests, including moths, ants, aphids, flies and borers. In the vegetable garden it is often planted near potatoes and other crops as part of a diverse companion planting system.
Historically, Tansy was also used in herbal medicine and cookery, though modern use is generally limited due to the potency of its essential oils. The plant has been used as a compost activator and is valued for contributing potassium and phosphorus-rich organic matter to compost heaps and mulch systems.
Tansy thrives in a wide range of conditions and is an excellent choice for cottage gardens, pollinator gardens, food forests and productive landscapes. The flowers attract a wide range of beneficial insects, while the foliage provides season-long interest.
Note: Tansy contains naturally occurring compounds that can be toxic if consumed in large quantities. It is grown primarily as an ornamental, companion and compost plant rather than a culinary herb.

Tropics: April to July
Subtropics: March to August
Mild climates: August to April

Planting / Sowing
Sow seed on the surface of moist seed-raising mix and lightly press into place. Cover only very lightly, as light assists germination. Keep moist until seedlings emerge. Transplant into a sunny or partly shaded position, spacing plants 45–60 cm apart. Tansy prefers well-drained soil but is highly adaptable once established. Remove spent flower heads if self-seeding is not desired.

Artemisia dracunculus
Russian Tarragon is a hardy perennial herb growing up to 1.5 metres tall, producing slender stems lined with narrow, aromatic green leaves. More vigorous and easier to grow from seed than French Tarragon, it is well suited to herb gardens, kitchen gardens and productive landscapes where its drought tolerance and resilience make it a dependable performer.
Traditionally grown for both culinary and herbal purposes, Tarragon has been cultivated across Europe and Asia for centuries. The leaves possess a mild, slightly spicy flavour and can be used fresh or dried in salads, vinegars, sauces and herb blends. Russian Tarragon is less intensely flavoured than French Tarragon but offers greater adaptability to a wider range of growing conditions.
In traditional herbal use, Tarragon has been prepared as a tea and valued for its calming properties. It has a long history of use as a household herb and was often included in cottage gardens for both practical and ornamental purposes.
Russian Tarragon thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, tolerating heat, drought and poor soils once established. Its tall, airy growth habit also makes it a useful background plant in herb and cottage gardens.

Brassica narinosa
Green Coin Tatsoi is a fast-growing Asian leafy green producing compact rosettes of glossy, dark green, spoon-shaped leaves with crisp stems and a mild, mustard-like flavour. The tender leaves are delicious eaten fresh in salads or lightly cooked in stir-fries, soups and noodle dishes.

Planting / Sowing
Direct sow seed 5–10 mm deep into fertile, well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. Space plants 15–20 cm apart for full-sized rosettes, or sow more closely for baby leaf production. Keep the soil consistently moist to encourage rapid, tender growth. Tatsoi can be harvested as individual baby leaves or as whole mature rosettes. While it can be sown throughout the year in suitable climates, it performs best after the first frosts when the leaves develop their finest flavour.

Dipsacus sativus
Teasel is a striking biennial producing tall, architectural stems topped with distinctive comb-like flower heads. Growing up to approximately 2 m tall, the unusual spiny heads bring structure and interest to cottage gardens, wildflower plantings and the back of garden beds.
The flower heads are excellent for dried arrangements and have a fascinating history of practical use. Once dried, cultivated teasels were traditionally used in the woollen textile industry to gently tease and raise the nap of fine cloth, their naturally hooked bracts being particularly well suited to the task.
Plants generally form a leafy rosette during their first year before sending up tall flowering stems in their second. The flowers attract bees and other pollinating insects, while mature seed heads can provide food for seed-eating birds.
Teasel performs particularly well in temperate climates and prefers full sun to partial shade with reasonably fertile, moist but well-drained soil. Plants can self-seed readily, so remove mature seed heads if unwanted spread is a concern.
