Key benefits

  • Grow your own flowers for chamomile, bee balm and mallow tea
  • Three hardy plants that return year after year
  • Flowers that bees love
  • Gift box with growing tips and tea recipes inside
  • Open-pollinated, non-hybrid seed

Three flowers to grow for your own teapot, boxed as a gift for anyone who would rather pick their tea than buy it. Roman chamomile gives apple-scented, daisy-like flowers for the classic cup; bee balm (Monarda didyma) adds a citrus-and-mint note; and Zebrina mallow (Malva sylvestris 'Zebrina') brings lilac blooms striped with purple. All three return year after year, and bees love every one.

Sowing and growing

  • Roman chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile): sow on the surface outdoors April to June or September; 20 to 30 cm tall, flowering in summer
  • Bee balm 'Panorama Mix': sow indoors March to April, barely covered, at about 20°C; germinates in 10 to 20 days, grows to 60 to 90 cm and flowers mainly from its second summer
  • Zebrina mallow: sow outdoors April to June, 5 mm deep; germinates in 15 to 20 days, reaches 60 to 120 cm and flowers June to September, often in its first year
  • All three like sun or light shade and well-drained soil, and all are hardy

Frequently Asked Questions

Which flowers in the Floral Teas collection can I use for tea?

Roman chamomile flowers are dried or used fresh for chamomile tea. Bee balm leaves and petals make a fragrant citrus-mint brew, and Zebrina mallow flowers can be dried and steeped. The box includes recipes to get you started.

Will the plants flower in the first year?

Roman chamomile and Zebrina mallow usually flower in their first summer if sown in spring. Bee balm normally needs a winter before it flowers well, so expect its main display in the second year.

Is the Floral Teas collection a good gift?

Yes. The three packets come in a printed Piccolo gift box with growing tips and recipes, so it is ready to give to a gardener or tea lover. Sowing starts in spring, and chamomile can also be sown in early autumn.

What is your returns policy?
