Nothing livens up a dish like fresh herbs, which is why you should always have some on hand. And the best way to do that? Grow them right inside your own home. Whether you just want some fresh basil or you're looking to grow a whole host of herbs—and whether or not you're known for your green thumb—there are plenty of gorgeous indoor planters and gardens that can make your dream a reality.
Basil
There are so many varieties for a mixture of looks in the garden. You can find basil with dark purple leaves, large green leaves, and small, fine-cut leaves that make them valuable additions to the landscape. If you don’t always pinch off the blooms, you’ll have pretty flowers also, although pinching them off will make the flavor in the leaves stronger.
Basil is an amazing herb to use – especially when you can get it fresh from the garden. A favorite classic basil dish is homemade pesto. It’s a must in almost every Italian dish and adds a really fresh flavor to salads, tomatoes, omelets, stir-fry dishes, and more.
Sage
Sage is another great herb that belongs in every herb garden. Sage is a drought-tolerant plant, which makes it good for growing in containers or raised beds. Because it is a perennial, it will often survive for a couple years in the home garden. I love that sage is available in colored and variegated forms, making it an eye-catching accent in the garden, and the textured leaves are always attractive.
Mint
No herb garden conversation is complete without a mention of delicious and easy-to-grow mint. Mint is so easy to grow, in fact, that it will often spread through the semi-shade areas of the garden. If you want it to stay in one place, I recommend growing mint in containers.
Chives
Another great herb is chives. You can harvest chives as needed throughout the entire growing season. They are easy to grow because you can either start the plants from seed or get clumps of divided plants from fellow gardeners. They aren’t fussy in the garden as long as they don’t get too hot.
Coriander
Coriander enjoys a sunny position but appreciates a little shade during the hottest part of the day. Plants will run to seed more quickly if stressed by hot weather so this is important for leaf varieties
You can also grow coriander successfully in pots or trays filled with a good multipurpose compost. Coriander plants have deep tap roots so pots need to be at least 25cm deep. Scatter seeds on the surface of the compost and cover, watering well. In a pot of 25cm diameter you can sow approx 5 seeds per pot.
