Herb Garden Plants

 

When creating an herb garden you need to consider what herbs you require regarding planting and caring. Herbs are easy to grow and are very rewarding. They are aromatic and used in cooking.

They can be planted in the ground, pots and hanging baskets with winter or summer bedding. The best place to grow herbs is in a sunny but sheltered part of the garden.

Maybe near where you would have a seat so you can enjoy the fragrance from them.

They like a neutral to alkaline soil with good drainage.Many of the more popular herbs like thyme, lavender, rosemary, sage and marjoram are native to the mediteraneum, so they like similar conditions to those they originate from.

Biennials are best planted in late spring in the garden. Perennials are able to withstand colder temperatures and return annually.

These include basil, thyme, sage, chives and savory.Why not see somemore information on different types of herbal plants.
