Herb Plants
Our plants typically are offered in a few different pot/plug sizes depending on the type of plant and availability (typical pot sizes are listed with each plant). The typical pot size offered is listed with each plant. Bear in mind that although a large plant may look impressive, small plants tend to transplant better. Small plants are less root-bound and have less roots overall to disturb. They adapt more quickly and are less prone to shock.
- 4 inch pot - The most common pot size we offer for tomatoes, peppers, flowers, and herbs.
- 3 inch pot - We typically offer succulents and other miscellaneous plants in this size.
- 6 inch pot - We occasionally offer larger-size plants in these pots.
- 72-cell or 6-pack size - Veggies and some annual flowers are often offered at this size.
- 98-cell - Onion starts are offered in this size which is slightly smaller than 6-pack size.
- Peat pot - Melons and squash are offered in peat pots because of their sensitive roots. Plant the entire pot in the ground to avoid harming the roots; the roots will grow right through the peat. These pots are about the size of a 3 inch pot.
- 12 inch hanging basket - Large flowers are offered in these pots.
- Life Cycle - Perennial plants will come back year-after-year. Annual plants live only one year. Tender perennials must be taken indoors over the winter in order to survive Iowa winters.
- Flavor - Herbs vary widely and subtly in flavor, making them very difficult to describe. We recommend gently rubbing the leaves of herbs you are interested in to lightly bruise the leaf, which will release the aroma of that herb and give you an idea of its flavor.
- Not just for cooking! - Herbs make some of our favorite garden plants, even if we never harvest them! Many are perennial, low maintenance, and have attractive foliage–which has the added benefit of filling your garden with sweet aromas. Most also bloom and are favorites of pollinators.
- Container Plants - Nearly all herbs take well to container cultivation, as long as they are given enough light. Keep in mind that moisture loving herbs like mint will require larger containers and more attention than drought tolerant herbs such as rosemary.
Sweet basil has the classic Genovese Italian basil flavor and aroma that goes perfect with salads, sauces, pasta dishes, and much more. It grows well in containers or in the ground with well-drained soil.
We often offer a variety called Everleaf which is compact with a dense leafing pattern–perfect for pinching a few leaves to use in the kitchen. Everleaf is slow to flower than other varieties (basil's flavor becomes unfavorable when the plant flowers).
Many of the varieties of sweet basil we offer have good downy mildew resistance. Downy mildew is one of the most devastating basil diseases in our area, so if you have had issues growing basil in the past, this may increase your success. Please ask us to ensure that the particular plants being offered at the time are resistant.

Pineapple Sage produces a strong, fresh pineapple fragrance when the leaves are bruised. It will quickly grow into a large, attractive bush, and when mature may sport bright red tubular flowers that hummingbirds love! It prefers well drained soil, but appreciates moisture, and will drop leaves if it gets too dry. We like to keep this plant in a large pot to bring in over the cold winter months; it will go dormant and lose most of its leaves, but come springtime will bud out to quickly become a large, vibrant bush–in fact we find that breaking dormancy often causes it to bloom.
