"The Olive Herb plant is one of the varieties that we ("Urban Herbs" are most excited to bring back next year. You guys have loved it over the past couple of years and this variety has always sold out so quickly, so we will be growing many more this year.⁠

The Olive Herb smells and tastes of olive, which can be used in so many different ways. As soon as we encountered this plant, we were amazed by the vivid aroma.⁠

The leaves can be cut and stirred into a salad or used as a seasoning within a pasta dish or homemade pizza. The flavour is strong, delicious and versatile. We think that you will discover that this incredible herb really encourages you to experiment which different flavour combinations and ideas.⁠

Enjoy adding an olive to your summer cocktails? You could also experiment by using a sprig from this fascinating plant to drinks during the summer.⁠"

Sounds tempting but, Why, do these retailers not identify these plants with their accepted name.  Like James Wong seeds, a fancy name is more  marketable. 

So, I asked the Duck and he quacked back that its Santolina (aka Saponaria, aka Cotton lavender) viridens. 
Unfortunately, Chiltern Seeds don't sell it.
