A culinary herb with spice notes. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: humus-rich, moisture retentive soil Rate of growth: fast Flowering period: July to August Hardiness: fully hardy ‘Thai’ has fragrant, minty foliage and attractive lilac flowers in summer that are popular with pollinators. The slightly spicy leaves with tones of caraway will add flavour to a range of dishes from curries, stews to soups and salads.
