HELP ME GROW
Growing your own herbs is a great place to start with seeds. We've picked four useful favourites that are straightforward to grow in pots or the garden and will give you plenty to pick for the kitchen. You don't need much space either — a few pots somewhere handy are enough to get started.
Great for Regular Picking
A vigorous, leafy coriander with plenty of flavour and good resistance to bolting. Keep picking regularly
Easy & Long-Lived
Easy perennial herb with mild onion-flavoured leaves and edible rose-pink flowers.
Classic Variety
The classic basil most of us recognise, with large, aromatic green leaves and that familiar sweet basil flavour. A great all-round choice for pesto, pasta, salads and growing alongside tomatoes.
Best for Regular Harvests
Traditional French parsley with deeply cut dark green leaves and a fine flavour.
GROW WITH CONFIDENCE
Herbs don't need to be complicated. Start with a few pots, give seedlings plenty of light and keep an eye on watering. Some herbs grow quickly while others take a little longer, but once they're established you'll have fresh leaves ready whenever you need them.
There's no need to sow the whole packet. A few healthy plants can provide plenty of fresh herbs, and keeping some seed back means you can make another sowing later.
Give seedlings plenty of light and keep the compost reasonably moist without soaking it. Basil likes warmth, while parsley, coriander and chives are happier with cooler conditions once established.
Start picking once plants have enough growth to spare. Regular harvesting encourages plenty of fresh growth, although give small young plants time to establish before taking too much.
