They have a chocolate scented daisy, a yellow lavendar bush, banana mint, some 8-10 different scented geraniums, tangerine scented marigold, numerous scented thymes, and what I was looking for, GREEK SAGE. I had one of those about 10 years ago. EVERYBODY I talked to told me it didn't exist. I'm SOO happy to have found it again!!

I heard of that nursery, they have such a great selection of herb plants and other plants :D . I wanted to order a few herbs from there last year, maybe i'll get a few plants this year.
I like how they have different and interesting kinds of herbs beside the common varieties.
Sounds like a great nursery.

What were you going to order?

MVG's say it's more flavorful. If I remember correctly it WAS more pungeant. I just thought it was a better looking sage plant, with fatter leaves. Common sage looks like it went on a diet, by comparison. Found it at Meijer's, of all places, when they used to sell potted herb plants in the middle of the grocery section.
