HELP ME GROW
You don't need a herb garden to grow plenty of fresh herbs. Many are perfectly happy in pots and containers, making them ideal for patios, balconies and somewhere near the kitchen door. We've picked a few that are easy to grow and useful for regular picking.
Great for Regular Picking
A vigorous, leafy coriander with plenty of flavour and good resistance to bolting. Keep picking regularly

Fresh, aromatic mint with versatile leaves for cooking, drinks, teas and everyday harvesting.
Easy Perennial for Pots
Hardy evergreen thyme with excellent flavour and a low, spreading habit ideal for ground cover.

GROW WITH CONFIDENCE
Herbs are some of the easiest plants to grow in containers. Choose a pot with good drainage, match the position to the herb and keep an eye on watering during warm weather. Different herbs have slightly different needs, so follow the individual growing guide for your chosen herb.
Small herbs don't need enormous containers to begin with, but perennial sage, chives and thyme will appreciate more room as they mature. Whatever you grow, make sure the container has good drainage.
Pots dry out faster than garden soil, but not every herb wants the same amount of water. Basil, parsley and coriander appreciate regular moisture, while established thyme and sage prefer slightly drier conditions.
Regular picking keeps many herbs producing fresh growth. Pinch basil, snip chives and harvest parsley and coriander as you need them. Perennial herbs can be picked more lightly and allowed to build into established plants.
