Nine pearls designed for Ginger and Rosemary, for instance (10)
I believe the answer is:
perennials
'ginger and rosemary for instance' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'nine pearls designed' is the wordplay.
'designed' indicates an anagram (designed with the letters).
'nine'+'pearls'='ninepearls'
'ninepearls' with letters rearranged gives 'PERENNIALS'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Crosaire) and The Irish Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
