What are aromatic plants?

Aromatic plants are plants that contain essential oils in various parts, such as the leaves, flowers or even the roots. Essential oils are volatile compounds that give the plant its characteristic scent. This scent can protect the plant itself or help it communicate with its environment. It often grows stronger with wind and heat, which is why many aromatic plants can be smelt from a distance.

What are herbs?

The herbs are plants used mainly in cooking, herbal teas and traditional preparations. They are rarely the main ingredient of a dish, but they add flavour, aroma and character. Since ancient times, herbs have been considered valuable plants, closely linked to tradition and everyday life. Many herbs are easy to grow from seed and suit pots, window boxes or planting straight into the ground.

Why grow aromatic plants from seed?

Growing aromatic plants and herbs from seed gives you a wide choice and full control over how your plants grow. Seeds are affordable, easy to store and let you create a fragrant garden tailored to your needs. Many aromatic plants germinate quickly and can be harvested little by little, giving you fresh aromas all year round.
