Alecost - Tanacetum balsamita - €6 per plant
Alecost used to be commonly grown in the herb garden but it has fallen out of favour in recent times. It is an incredibly useful perennial herb. Its leaves have a eucalyptus-like aroma which has been described as like garden mint with hints of balsam. The long, broad and resinous leaves support loose clusters of tiny, daisy-like flowers that emit a pleasant, balsamic fragrance. Fresh, young leaves may be added to salads, soups, bread and cold beverages. Alecost can be used like mint in lemonade and other iced drinks and beverages. Uses in salads and fruit salads, cakes and teas. The plants spreads quite rapidly and can make excellent ground cover on a sunny edge.
