It has a strong flavor and aroma of licorice and cloves, and is often used in curries and soups. It is also excellent to use fresh in salads and spring rolls.</p> <p>Leaves and flowers are excellent for brewing fresh herbal tea. All plant parts are edible.</p> <p>Historically, Thai basil has been used in traditional medicine for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It has also been used to relieve symptoms of nausea and digestive problems.</p> <p>Thai basil is also known to attract butterflies and bees, which can make it an important feature in the garden.</p> <p><strong>Culture:</strong></p> <p>Thai basil is an easy-to-grow plant that thrives in hot and humid climates. It is commonly found in Southeast Asia where it thrives in nutrient-rich soils and locations with full sun.</p> <p>To imitate these conditions in Sweden, the Thai basil is best grown in a greenhouse, alternatively outside during the summer months and set up in the winter to protect from frost.</p> <p>Thai basil is perennial and if you don't have a greenhouse with growing beds, it is best grown in a pot so it can be set aside for the winters, so that after a few years it can grow into a small tree.</p> <p>Water the plants regularly and make sure they don't dry out. It is also important to remove the flowers when they appear to encourage the growth of foliage.</p> <p><strong>Sowing:</strong></p> <p>Sow the seeds in moist soil. Cover with plastic with air holes to keep the seed moist. Keep the seed evenly moist, not wet.</p> <p>If you want to grow Thai basil as an annual, you can sow the seeds directly in the ground when the risk of frost is over.</p> <p><strong>Characteristics:</strong></p> <p>Age: Perennial<br> Plant position: Full sun<br> Height: Up to 160 cm<br> Germination time: 7-14 days</p>

Like the green variety, the fruits of red okra are a well-used ingredient in cooking thanks to their crunchy texture and binding properties. The fruits can be used in the same way as the greens, both in stews and soups, but also raw as a snack. The leaves of red okra can also be used raw in salads or stir-fries.</p> <p>The big difference between red and green okra is of course the red color - which makes the variety a popular ornamental plant.</p> <p><strong>Culture:</strong></p> <p>Like green okra, red okra is drought tolerant and grows best in well-drained, loamy soil. It thrives best in heat and is sensitive to frost, so cultivation in Sweden is mainly recommended in greenhouses or covered growing beds during the spring.</p> <p>Red okra is self-pollinating, so a single plant is sufficient to bear fruit. For best results, give the plant continuous irrigation and nutrient supply.</p> <p>The fruits of red okra should be picked at an early, unripe stage while they are still red and soft. If the fruits become too ripe, they can develop a woody taste.</p> <p><strong>Sowing:</strong></p> <p>Soak the seeds in water 24 hours before sowing. Put the seeds in moist soil and cover with 1-2 cm of soil. Keep the seed moist and place in a location with direct sunlight.

It is usually slightly milder than regular basil (Ocimum basilicum) and can be used fresh or dried.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> Lemon basil is often used in salsas, stews, marinades, and as a flavoring in beverages. Its bright flavor and fresh aroma also make it great for making tea.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> Lemon basil also has medicinal properties. It has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties and can help relieve symptoms of colds and headaches. The herb has also been used to treat stomach upset and high blood pressure.</p> <p>Lemon basil is an excellent plant for growing in the garden or in pots on a sunny patio. It is easy to grow and produces a generous harvest of flavorful leaves. It is also a beautiful plant with bright green leaves and beautiful white flowers.</p> <p> So, whether you're a foodie or a gardening enthusiast, lemon basil is definitely a plant you should try growing.

However, this requires that you move the plant inside before winter as the Lemon Basil is frost sensitive. You can also plant directly in the ground in a greenhouse if you ensure that the winter temperature does not fall below 0 ºC. Alternatively, grow directly in the ground as an annual.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"> Cut off the inflorescences to encourage foliage growth. However, the inflorescences are edible and aromatic as well.</p> <p> Lemon basil is also known to be resistant to pests and diseases, making it a good natural protection for the plants it is placed around, but it is still important to keep an eye out for any signs of fungal or insect infestation.</p> <p>To get a rich harvest of healthy leaves, it is important to keep the soil moist, but not wet. It is also important to give the plant enough nutrition and space to grow.</p> <p> <strong>Sowing:</strong></p> <p> To sow lemon basil, fill a pot or seed tray with moist, well-drained soil. Spread the seeds evenly over the soil and press them down gently so they make good contact with the soil surface. Do not cover with soil.</p> <p> To preserve moisture, cover the seeds with plastic wrap or a plastic bag with air holes.

The tree is relatively long-lived (50-150 years) and is very cold resistant.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">Unlike many plants, dogwood thrives well in shaded locations. It should also preferably be protected from the wind. If the tree is in direct sun, the tree tends to produce&nbsp;increased amounts of&nbsp;fruit, but of a smaller size.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">An optimal growing&nbsp;spot&nbsp;for the dogwood is under one or&nbsp;several tall deciduous trees - which provide shade and add organic matter to the soil - surrounded by additional vegetation in different (agroforestry) layers. This contributes to creating a moist, wind-sheltered and semi-shaded environment in which the dogwood&nbsp;thrives best. The tree's luminous&nbsp;flowers can also light up an otherwise shaded "grove".

It is also one of the few basil varieties which can grow into smaller trees.</p> <p>Holy Basil is often confused with Thai Basil (<em>Ocimum basilicum</em> var. <em>thyrsiflora</em>) - which is a different species. Because of this confusion and the rarer occurrence of Holy Basil, Thai basil is sometimes mistakenly used in cooking where Holy Basil is actually the correct component. An example of such occurrence can be in the Thai dish Pad Kaprao, which is named after the Holy Basil's Thai name <em>kaprao</em>. The difference between these two basils is that Thai Basil is sweeter and more licorice-like while Holy Basil is spicier and more peppery, hence the name <em>Hot Basil</em> which is sometimes used.</p> <p>In addition to cooking, the plant's leaves and flowers are also used to make a calming tea.</p> <p>As one of the most well-used ancient medicinal plants, Holy Basil has been used to treat common colds, headaches, various stress disorders and more. Stem, leaves and seeds are used for these purposes.</p> <p>In traditional societies, the herb is also used as a natural mosquito repellent, by applying the aroma from the plant&nbsp;on the skin.</p> <p><meta charset="utf-8"><span>Similarly, dried leaves have been mixed with stored grains to repel insects</span> <span>for</span> <span>hundreds of years.</span></p> <h4><strong data-mce-fragment="1">Cultivation</strong><span data-mce-fragment="1">:</span></h4> <p>Use a well-drained, loamy soil and place in partial shade&nbsp;to full sun, it will&nbsp;grow well in both. Thrives best in moist soil, but not wet. If you let the soil dry out between waterings it will enhance the aroma production of the plant -&nbsp; this is the result of a response to stress.</p> <p>Place the Holy Basil in a pot with plenty of room for the roots to give the plant a chance to grow into a small tree. Move the pot indoors before winter as the plant does not thrive in temperatures below 15 <span data-mce-fragment="1">°</span> C. If the plant is slowly led into a winter dormancy, it can manage to overwinter in temperatures down to -1 <span data-mce-fragment="1">°</span> C, but this slows down growth.<br></p> <p>In Southern Europe - Spain, Italy, Balkan, Greece and South/West Turkey - you can grow Holy Basil outdoors all year round.</p> <p>If you want the plant to focus more on foliage growth, you can cut off inflorescences before they have time to fully develop.</p> <p>Holy Basil is easy to take cuttings from, make a diagonal cut with a clean tool just below a leaf node. The cutting should be around 15 cm. Remove the bottom leaves from the cutting and place in a glass of water that you change regularly. Plant in soil when roots have developed.</p> <h4><strong data-mce-fragment="1">Sowing</strong><span data-mce-fragment="1">:</span></h4> <p><span data-mce-fragment="1">Place the seeds on a layer of <meta charset="utf-8">moist soil.

<h4>SEEDS (5pcs/bag)</h4> <p><strong>Common names</strong>: Asimina, Paw Paw<br> <strong>Scientific name</strong>: <em>Asimina triloba</em><br> <strong>Family</strong>: Annonaceae</p> <h4><strong>Plant history &amp; use</strong>:</h4> <p>Asimina is one of the most tropical-like fruits that can grow in temperate climate - USDA Zone is 5-8. The taste is&nbsp;best described as&nbsp;a mixture of banana and mango with a tint of strawberry and the texture is similar to that of papaya or a perfectly ripe avocado. The fruit looks like a small green mango with golden yellow flesh.<br><br> The fruits are usually eaten as they are but can also be used to enrich refreshing drinks, pastries and cocktails with their mild tropical taste. The fruits are rich in vitamins such as riboflavins and B-6. You can also use the fruits to make ice cream.</p> <h4><strong>Cultivation</strong>:</h4> <p>Asimina originates from and grows naturally in North America, often as undergrowth under larger trees.<br><br> They thrive in humus-rich, nutrient-rich and slightly moist well-drained soils.<br> <br>Asimina trees thrives in sheltered locations and therefore likes to grow under larger trees and also like to stand close together with other Asimina trees, approx. 1 m apart in full grown size. This protects against wind and direct sunlight and facilitates pollination. East facing spots is a suitable place to plant Asimina. Plants that grow in exposed locations do significantly worse than plants that grow in protected locations.<br><br> Water abundantly or plant in a place with good water supply.<br><br>The Asimina&nbsp;plant puts a lot of energy into developing a strong root system in the beginning - the root can often be thicker than the trunk in the first months. When growing in pots, a tip is to plant in deep pots directly, this gives the opportunity for more efficient root development and you avoid disturbing the plant before it has grown.<br><br> In open grounds, Asimina naturally grows into a dense thicket by spreading via root shoots.<br><br> It takes about 4-8 years from seed sowing to fruiting tree.</p> <h4><strong>Sowing</strong>:</h4> <p><span style="color: #404040;" data-mce-style="color: #404040;">NOTE: These seeds have already been treated with a cold period (stratification). The stratification below is therefore not necessary if the seeds are sown soon after purchase.</span></p> <p>The seeds need a cold period of 2-3 months to germinate. This can be done by placing the seeds in a bag of sand/peat in the fridge for the suggested time. After the cold period, the seeds are sown in soil, keep the seed warm and moist, preferably around 25 degrees.</p> <h4>Characteristics:</h4> <p>Lifespan: Perennial<br>Location: Partial hhade<br> Height: 1-10 m<br> Germination Time: 1-12 months<br>USDA Zone: 5-8</p>
