Tussie-mussies

These Victorian nosegays use the language of herbs - instead of taking chocolates or wine to a party, how much more original and charming to give a Tussie-mussie, made up of herbs and a single, central flower from your own garden. They conveyed messages of love, sympathy or understanding and even had their own silver holders when most fashionable. Lacking the silverware, cut a hole in a paper doily and arrange your herbs & flower in that, fasten the stems with a rubber band and then cover that with raffia, string, strands of ivy or a pretty ribbon. This is also a particularly delightful little gift to bring to the birth of a baby, and may well include a sweet scented rose and every herb below to ensure a well-rounded character!

NB: Although many herbs have medicinal applications, or are said to have magical influences, we don't sell ours with such claims, believing these to be the province of experts in such things. While enjoying the histories, we make no recommendations. All herbs have their own properties and it should never be assumed that because it's 'natural', it's also 'harmless'.

Minimum order 6 pots of your choice.
