Can anyone recommend any herbs which can be grown purely for ornamental reasons. Preferably drought tolerant, low maintenance, will grow to about 2-3ft in a pot and have plenty of flowers to attract bees etc. Many thanks.
lavender. marjoram. broad leaved thyme is a bit short but fits the flowers and bees criterion. Bergamot. Apple mint. Feverfew attracts hoverflies. chives - also a bit short.

@peteS I guess the most obvious is Rosemary Miss Jessop's Upright. For the very best and more unusual ideas Jekka Mc Vicker would be the first place I would look. The problem with buying herbs on line is you cannot judge for the best taste and smell which varies alot. I would think Jekka's herbs would be reliable and the very best.
