English term or phrase: Live herb plant
"His business sends live herb plants all over the country. He offers nine different kinds of basil and 33 different varieties of thyme!"

Mi duda es "live herb plants", ¿puede que se trate de "especias"? Se me ocurre eso porque se habla de albahaca y tomillo.
El target language es Argentina.
¡Muchas gracias!

live herb plant
hierbas frescas


Explanation:
especias me suena más a condimentos secos, en cambio al decir hierbas frescas me parece que se da a entender que se trata de plantas.

live herb plant
hierbas vivas


Explanation:
Atención, no hay que olvidar el "live", que es de crucial importancia. Ya sea con fines culinarias o botánicas, el caso es que este señor suministra hierbas (tomillo, etc.) que están vivas y, si necesario, pueden ser plantadas de nuevo.
