A Curated Collection for the Experienced Herbal Gardener:
This set includes eight heirloom varieties selected for vigor, diversity, and medicinal value. Together, they form the foundation of a lasting, resilient herb garden that matures beautifully over time. Perfect for homesteaders, herbalists, and serious gardeners seeking depth beyond standard starter mixes.

• Burdock (Arctium lappa) – This biennial plant can be grown as both an herb or a vegetable for its deep taproot. It is traditionally used to support liver health, detoxification, and skin health.
• Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) – Mugwort is a perennial herb that survives even in drought conditions. It has been traditionally used as a medicinal herb to make tincture, extract, nerve tonic, herbal tea, powder, and essential oil, especially in Chinese Traditional Medicine
• Self-Heal (Prunella vulgaris) – This hardy perennial herb, also known as All-Heal, Heal-All, and Woundwort, is a low-growing plant that makes a good groundcover, with purple blooms that delight pollinators. Self-heal is best known for its traditional uses in skin and wound support.
• St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum) –  This cheery midsummer bloomer produces an abundance of bright yellow flowers. Used in herbalism for centuries, St. John’s Wort’s medicinal properties are most sought after for its potential mood-lifting benefits.
• Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) – A tall perennial herb with fragrant, pale pink to white blooms. Valerian root has been used traditionally to promote relaxation and support restful sleep. 
• Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) – Known for its silvery-green, aromatic foliage, Wormwood is a hardy, drought-tolerant herb. It has a long history in digestive tonics and is famously associated with absinthe. Take care when planting as it can be aggressive in the garden.
• Common Plantain (Plantago major) – A hardy perennial known for thriving in a wide range of conditions. Traditionally used in herbal remedies for skin support, minor wounds, and soothing preparations.
• Spotted Joe Pye Weed (Eutrochium maculatum) – A tall native perennial with striking pink-purple flower clusters that attract pollinators. Traditionally used in herbal practices, it has been associated with supporting wellness and was historically valued by Indigenous peoples.

How to Grow:
Start seeds indoors 6–10 weeks before your last frost or direct-sow outdoors after frost risk passes. Sow shallowly (about 1/8 inch) in moist, well-drained soil. Expect varied germination times of 14–30 days; some species benefit from 2–4 weeks of cold stratification in the refrigerator. Provide full sun and patience—many herbs take a full season to establish and reach maturity in their second year. Manage spreading varieties like mugwort or wormwood in containers or by deadheading.

Harvest & Use:
Harvest leaves once plants are well established, typically mid to late summer. Roots and flowers are best collected in the second year for biennials and slower-growing perennials. Dry, infuse, or blend your harvests to create traditional teas, tinctures, and salves for home herbal use.
