Grown in peat free compost in a biodegradable pot made from waste coir and natural latex. Remove plant from pot or cut/tear away some of the coir if the plant is well rooted and hard to remove.

• Flowers: July- September

• Moist, well-drained soil
• South, West or East aspect
• Full sun
• Sheltered

• Pop the discarded coir pot in the green bin, leave out for birds to use for nesting, use as mulch or add to compost heap
• Cut back two thirds in late summer to stop the plant becoming straggly. The herb will die back in the autumn but will reappear with new growth in spring
• Keep well-watered during the growing season
• Coir pots are supplied by one specific village producer in Sri Lanka. They have built a school, old people's home and extension to the local medical centre over the years from the proceeds of coir pot production
