Kings Bergamot Mixed Seeds

There is nothing quite as special as using your own home grown herbs to add flavour to your cooking or salads.

Bergamot has showy flowers in shades of pink/purple which can be dried and used in pot pourri. The  leaves have a citrus tang to them and make delightful teas. Bergamot grows to about 60cm (24").

Bergamot goes well with oranges so would make an unusual addition to your home made marmalades.
