Key Features & Beauty
This trio of herbs is the perfect natural partnership for both the garden and the kitchen. Together, Chives, Coriander, and Basil create a living ecosystem that protects, flavours, and supports other plants while giving you a continuous supply of fresh herbs.
Origins & Special Qualities
Chives release sulphur compounds that repel aphids, mites, and carrot flies — while producing edible flowers that attract pollinators.
Coriander adds zesty flavour to meals and also helps deter pests like aphids and spider mites.
Basil is a classic companion for tomatoes and capsicums, enhancing flavour and repelling whiteflies.
All three are open-pollinated heirloom varieties — true-to-type and suitable for seed saving.
Growing & Maturity Info
Days to maturity:
Chives: ~80 days, harvestable continuously after establishment.
Coriander: ~45–60 days to leaves, ~90 days for seed.
Basil: ~60 days for regular harvest of leaves.
Height:
Chives: 30–40 cm
Coriander: 40–60 cm
Basil: 40–60 cm
Grow best in full sun, fertile soil, with consistent moisture. Suited for pots, raised beds, or borders.
Use & Flavour
Harvest chives for a mild onion flavour in salads, soups, and garnishes.
Use coriander for fresh leaves or dried seed in salsas, curries, and marinades.
Basil adds its fragrant sweetness to sauces, salads, and classic Italian dishes.
Together they provide natural pest defence while giving your kitchen fresh, versatile herbs.
