What perennial herbs can be planted together?

Cilantro, tarragon, and basil love full sun, and all require more moisture to be happy. They grow well together since you can keep them watered at the same rate. When it comes to herbs that prefer sandier, drier soil, consider planting sage, thyme, rosemary, marjoram, oregano and lavender near each other.

Which herbs come back every year?

But a bonus of perennial herbs is that many of them are as attractive as they are tasty, making them functional beyond the kitchen.

How do you layout an herb garden?

Position shorter herbs, such as parsley and marjoram, at the front of the garden, often the south side. Low-growing herbs including thyme, Roman chamomile and yarrow look attractive when placed at the edges of the garden. Sun-loving herbs, including basil and sage, also get plenty of light at the front of the garden.

What herbs should not be planted together?

You can grow herbs in pots together as long as you remember two rules: avoid mixing those that like plenty of water (such as chives, mint, chervil, coriander, Vietnamese coriander) with those that like a well-drained soil (such as rosemary, thyme, sage, bay, and oregano).

Which herbs Cannot be planted together?

What herbs can be planted together?

Generally, herbs that like the same environment can be planted together. Herbs that are commonly planted together are sage, thyme, rosemary, marjoram, lavender, and oregano, among others. You should avoid planting mint with other herbs due to its invasive properties.

How do you maintain a herb garden?

Whether you grow herbs outdoors or indoors, keep the plants lush and bushy by regularly pinching 2 to 3 inches off the tips. If you desire more leaves, pinch off any flowers that form. When transplanting, remove the top two leaves from each plant to encourage root growth.

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.

Which herbs are invasive?
