Growing herbs together.
Comments (4)Chives are also a perennial, whereas the rest are annuals. They should get their own pot where they will live for years (and when you repot you'll find it's almost solid roots and little bulbs). Dill and basil will tower over cilantro, so cilantro will also probably need it's own pot. You may be able to grow it around the base of the dill since dill lets a lot of light through, but basil has a pretty dense canopy and won't let plants under it do well. Cilantro also needs to be succession planted to provide a continuous supply, several dedicated pots (1g is fine) aught to do planted 1-2 weeks apart....See Moredo these herbs go together?
Comments (2)You'd probably have better luck moving everything else to separate pots and leave the mint in the existing pot. You just need to make sure you don't move ANY mint root with the others or you'll have mint back in your other pots. You could put the Parsleys, Chives and Thyme together in a larger pot and allow the Thyme to drape over the side.... actually, you could do the same with the Rosemary and Parsley....See Moreexperience growing these herbs together?
Comments (4)Red clover is a short lived perennial. I'm not sure how well this will do in a container, but try it and let us know how it works. If you are looking to harvest flowers for use. you'll need a fair sized patch of it to get any real amount. I would suggest seeding a patch if that is what you intend. Yarrow can spread but but it is very nice - even in your lawn. Read up on herbal lawns. Chamomile is nice. I've had good luck with german chamomile (Matricaria recutita). Not such good luck with Roman chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile). FataMorgana...See MoreWhich herbs should I grow together?
Comments (9)Ok since I bought more herbs a while back, I'll just show you photos of the plants that I've grouped together for the time being. Over here's Rosemary, Oregano, Sage, and Lavender: And the other group has Purple Basil, Holy Basil, Chocolate Mint, Spearmint, Lemon Balm, Tarragon, and Perilla: I also have Pineapple Sage which I dunno where to put. Should I put in the dry group with sage because it's a Salvia, or does go with the moist group with basil and mint? This post was edited by Resolute_Noir on Mon, Dec 30, 13 at 21:36...See Morejll0306
