Herbs well suited for growing in cool weather are cilantro, chervil, chives, dill, and parsley. Unlike warm-weather summer-grown herbs, cool-weather herbs can be sown directly in the garden a month or more before the last frost in spring for late spring harvest and again in late summer for fall harvest.

What herbs can you grow all year round?

Can you grow herbs in a cold frame?

Plants that don't like sitting in wet compost over winter, such as succulents, alpines and some herbs, can be kept dry in the cold frame. And if you're into propagating plants, it is a viable alternative to a greenhouse for storing cuttings through the year.

What is the fastest growing herb?

Dill. Dill is one of the quickest growing herbs. Sprout to harvest, you're looking at about 40 days. And while dill isn't as popular as other herb varieties, it's surprisingly versatile.

What herbs grow in winter NZ?

As much as possible, stick to herbs that are cold-hardy. These include parsley, marjoram, thyme, sorrel, and garlic chives. Herbs like sage and dill may survive outdoor conditions for a few weeks under the protection of a low tunnel.

What herbs will survive winter?

Cold-hardy herbs, such as chives, mint, oregano, parsley, sage and thyme, can often survive cold-winter temperatures while continuing to produce flavorful foliage, as long as they are provided with some protection or grown indoors.

Can you keep herbs growing all year?

Many cooks grow herbs indoors during the winter when it's too cold outside or too wet to dig in the dirt, but you can grow herbs inside any time of year. Indoor herbs prefer the same temperatures that most people do—around 65 to 70 degrees F—so if you're comfortable, they probably are.

What temperature is too cold for herbs?

Keep herbs in rooms that have at least a 65 to 70°F day and 55 to 60°F night temperature regimes. Although most herbs can survive temperatures that are in the mid to low 40s, others cannot; for example, basil (Ocimum basilicum) cannot survive temperatures lower than 50°F.

Can Rosemary be left outside in winter?

If you live in USDA plant hardiness zones 7 or below, rosemary will only survive if you bring it indoors before the arrival of freezing temperatures. On the other hand, if your growing zone is at least zone 8, you can grow rosemary outdoors year round with protection during the chilly months.

What can I grow in a cold frame in summer?
