RE Lowe herb question

**K*@aol.com**

I did a little looking for you re cultivars of the herbs you mentioned. The 
 species are widely available, as you already know, but I find almost no  
cultivars that are widely available to home gardeners. It's reassuring that 
Rose  Marie Nichols McGee, who knows more about herbs than any of us, pretty 
much  agrees.

There apparently is at least one selection of summer savory, Satureja  
hortensis 'Aromata'' seeds are available at _info@swallowtailgardenseeds.com_ 
(i*@swallowtailgardenseeds.com) .

According to _http://www.floridata.com/ref/c/cymb_cit.cfm_ 
(http://www.floridata.com/ref/c/cymb_cit.cfm) ,  the "lemongrass plants that you are likely 
to encounter are cultivars and do not  typically produce flowers." The site 
does not list cultivar names,  however.

Apparently there are caraway cultivars, Carum carvi, and you may want  to 
take a look at a couple of scholarly articles:

Brandy Carr Nursery in England is a licorice producer, and you might  
contact them to see if there are cultivars:

You might want to contact 
_http://www.chilternseeds.co.uk/chilternseeds/default/_ (http://www.chilternseeds.co.uk/chilternseeds/default/) ,  who typica
lly have more than anyone else.
