Clary sage is a perennial plant that is valued both for its culinary and ornemental qualities. The flowers are white with some purplish blue undertones, and are an absolute delight for bees. It is used just like common sage, but some recommend using clary sage for more extended uses. In popular medicine, the leaves are used to heal wounds. Clary sage has been grown since Antiquity for its medicinal properties.
This plant only starts flowering on the second year, but it is well worth the wait to see the carpenter bees and hawk-moths feast on the blooms.

As you might be able to guess from the name, the sweet chewy treat that we call marshmallow was originally made from the root of this plant. Nowadays, A. officinalis is mostly grown as a medicinal plant for its root's emollient properties, which help soothe several types of irritations and inflammations, and as an ornemental plant. Its delicate flowers are white with a hint of pink, and are indeed pretty. Additionally all parts of the plant can be consumed, be it in infusions or salads. Options are endless, and we strongly encourage you to research this perennial's properties in greater details.

Perennial plant originally from the Mediterranean basin (potentially from Egypt), naturalized all over Europe, the Middle East and the Americas.
If the name includes the word 'cat', it is because this plant induces a strong reaction in most of those domesticated felines. They become euphoric and very excited; they will start rolling and sniffing around, and will do many other funny things.
For humans, catnip is instead used to soothe pain and unrest. It is also relevant to mention that, before the British Empire discovered tea in its Chinese colonies, infused catnip was a favorite for the royal court.
*This year, we were not able to harvest sufficient catnip seeds. Therefore, our seeds come from Jardin Vie-La-Joie.
