Mediterranean Blue Companion

Sun-drenched herbs with a soft floral touch 💙

Inspired by Mediterranean gardens, this Potted Companion brings together fragrant, hardy herbs with delicate blooms—perfect for sunny spots and slow, outdoor living.

What’s included:

• Rosemary Rosmarinus officinalis, easy to grow  and a must for every garden, this evergreen shrub with aromatic foliage and a profusion of rich blue flowers in spring and early summer.
• Sage, Salvia officinalis, a perennial herb with attractive grey-green foliage.
  
• Viola, Viola cornuta, edible flowers bring beauty and versatility to salads and garnishes.
• Planted in an X-Large blue pot (40cm x 30cm)

 Why it works:

These herbs thrive in the same sunny, well-drained conditions, making them an easy, low-fuss combination, while the viola adds a gentle contrast of colour. They are nutritional powerhouses packed with potent antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. The strong and distinct aromatic scents deter pests by confusing them.

 Grow tips & Position:

• Loves a sunny position.
• Water moderately.
• Tolerates dry spells once established.
• Harvest herbs regularly to encourage delicious new growth.
• Prune well after summer and winter.
• Dry herbs for use in the kitchen.

 Benefits & Uses:

• Rosemary: Rich in iron, calcium, and vitamin B6. It is highly prized for its cognitive-boosting properties—studies suggest it helps improve memory, mental clarity, and supports the circulatory system. With multiple uses in cooking roasts and potatoes, it is a useful herb to grow in the kitchen garden.
•  Sage: Known for its high antioxidant content, sage is traditionally used to support oral health and ease inflammation. Research also indicates it may help lower LDL cholesterol and balance blood sugar. Use to flavour poultry, pork, cheese and egg dishes.
• Viola flowers can be used as a garnish for cakes, salads and for fancy ice cubes. Also, known to bring joy and happiness.
