Artemisia absinthium

Wormwood is a striking perennial shrub valued for its finely divided silvery-grey foliage, aromatic fragrance and long history of medicinal and garden use. Growing to approximately 1 metre tall, it forms an attractive mound of soft-textured foliage that provides contrast and structure in herb gardens, cottage gardens and dry landscape plantings.

Native to Europe, North Africa and parts of Asia, Wormwood has been cultivated for centuries as a medicinal herb and is perhaps best known as a traditional ingredient in the historic beverage absinthe. It has a distinctive bitter aroma and has long been used in herbal preparations. The plant remains a popular addition to medicinal and historical herb gardens.

In the garden, Wormwood is valued as a companion plant due to its strongly aromatic foliage, which has traditionally been used to help deter fleas, flies and moths. The plant is also known as a dynamic accumulator of potassium, making it useful in composting and mulch systems. Gardeners should note that Wormwood can inhibit the growth of nearby plants through allelopathic compounds released from its roots and foliage, so careful placement is recommended.

Drought tolerant and easy to grow, Wormwood thrives in sunny positions with well-drained soil and requires little maintenance once established.

Brassica oleracea

Purple Peacock is an unusual and highly productive broccoli-kale cross, combining small to medium broccoli heads with beautiful, deeply cut leaves reminiscent of Russian Kale. Foliage develops in a striking mixture of purple, green and pink shades, making this as ornamental in the garden as it is useful in the kitchen.

Rather than producing one large head and finishing, Purple Peacock continues producing tender sprouting heads over a long harvest period. Almost the entire plant is useful, with the young heads, leaves and tender stems all edible and offering a mild, pleasant flavour. Leaves can be cooked like kale, while the shoots and stems can be steamed, roasted, sautéed or eaten young and tender.

Maturing in approximately 70 days, Purple Peacock performs best during the cooler growing months in fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture. Regular harvesting encourages continued production of side shoots and tender new growth.

Capsicum annuum

Bulgarian Carrot is a distinctive heirloom Chilli from Bulgaria, producing firm, tapered fruits approximately 10 cm long that closely resemble small bright orange carrots. The brilliant colouring, crisp flesh and medium to hot heat make it an unusual and highly productive addition to the chilli garden.

The fruits have a lively, fruity flavour beneath their heat and are particularly good roasted, chopped into salsa, made into chutneys and sauces or preserved whole through pickling. They can be used fresh or dried, with the vivid orange fruits bringing both colour and warmth to dishes.

Chillies originated in the Americas and have been cultivated for thousands of years, spreading around the world following European contact and becoming integral to cuisines throughout Asia, Africa and Europe. They are naturally rich in vitamin C and carotenoids, while their characteristic heat comes from capsaicinoids concentrated primarily in the internal membranes of the fruit.

Bulgarian Carrot grows to approximately 50 cm tall and performs best through warm weather in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil. Plants are frost sensitive but can behave as short-lived perennials in warm, frost-free climates.

Tropaeolum majus

Salmon Gleam Nasturtium is a reliable, fast-growing variety producing masses of striking peachy-salmon coloured flowers that brighten the garden from spring through autumn. Its vigorous growth habit makes it ideal for filling garden beds, softening edges, covering bare soil or spilling attractively from containers and hanging baskets.

Like all nasturtiums, Salmon Gleam is exceptionally easy to grow and thrives in a wide range of conditions, including poorer soils where many other flowering plants struggle. The flowers and leaves are edible, adding a fresh peppery flavour and vibrant colour to salads, sandwiches and garnishes. The blooms are also highly attractive to bees and other beneficial pollinators.

Nasturtiums are widely used as companion plants in vegetable gardens. They help attract beneficial insects, act as a trap crop for aphids and may assist in deterring certain pest insects from nearby crops. Their spreading growth habit also helps suppress weeds and retain soil moisture.

A beautiful and practical addition to both ornamental and productive gardens, Salmon Gleam combines ornamental appeal with useful garden benefits.
