Re: GWL herbs question

Judy, 
There are few selections. I have grown a caraway which behaves as an annual instead of a biennial. We haven't listed it because the U.S. interest in caraway is limited...though I've been finding more ways to use it. Anise, not to be confused with bulbing fennel, no selections. Lemon Grass, is a sticky one since there are several close relatives to Cymbopogon citratus. This is the thick stemmed SE Asian cooking variety and does not seem to come true from seed so grown from divisions. Contact me offline if you want more details. Lemon verbena, licorice, summer savory are all non-named varieties. Sweet Woodruff, I've seen differences in fragrance of plantings but the ones that stood out were the less fragrant. Hope this is helpful
