Angelo’s Farm Market herbs are specifically selected for home growers to be productive, disease resistant, and flavorful. Look for the large, sturdy ‘Gorizia’, trailing ‘Huntington Carpet’, and showy ‘Tuscan Blue’. These woody herbs varieties possess a mild to strong, piney yet sweet aroma and flavorful taste. Traditionally used with poultry, pork, stews and breads. Herbal teas and potpourris have a stimulating effect. Plant near beans, cabbage and carrots as a garden companion. Deters bean beetles, moths, and deer. Requires indoor care in the winter in Northeast Ohio. Height depends on frequency of use, pruning or training into a topiary and maturity of the plant.

Plant in sunny, well-drained, nutrient rich soil or containers amended with organic matter like Petitti Planting Mix. Water well after planting; maintain 1” of water once a week throughout the growing season. Feed with a slow release fertilizer, Osmocote® or Garden-tone®. Follow label instructions. Mulch 2″ to suppress weeds, retain moisture and protect against extremes of soil temperature. Harvest 1/3 of the new, tender foliage in the morning. Dry or freeze extra for future use.
