{"product_id":"herb-mint-buddleia","title":"Mint 'Buddleia'","description":"\u003cp\u003eMint 'Buddleia' is a popular perennial herb, highly prized for its ornamental flower spikes as well as its culinary value. The primary part used in the kitchen is its soft, grey-green leaves, which provide a sweet and fruity mint flavour, perfect for making teas, jellies, and mint sauces. However, its most striking feature is its long, tapering, lilac-purple flowers, which resemble those of a butterfly bush and are also edible, making them a beautiful garnish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen it comes to planting and maintenance, this is an easy-to-grow, spreading perennial that is very adaptable. It is not fussy about its light conditions and will thrive in locations with either full sun or partial shade. The main requirement for it to grow well is providing it with soil that is kept consistently moist. Like all mints, it is highly invasive, so it is crucial to grow it in a container or with root barriers to stop it from spreading. As a major added benefit, its attractive flowers are extremely popular with pollinators, particularly bees and butterflies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease Note: When purchasing plants please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only - The plant will be supplied in a growers pot.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GardenersDream","offers":[{"title":"8cm pot","offer_id":55174795166030,"sku":"HERBS_-V-_MINBUD_8CM","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"1L pot","offer_id":55174795198798,"sku":"HERBS_-V-_MINBUD_13CM","price":10.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0862\/7827\/5406\/files\/00-GardenersDream-Herbs-Mint-Buddleia.jpg?v=1768324657","url":"https:\/\/www.gardenersdream.co.uk\/products\/herb-mint-buddleia","provider":"Gardeners Dream","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
