The Easiest And Longest Lasting Herbal Plants To Grow?
Hi there,
I would like some information. The basil plant is the only one flourishing, the Parsley and Thyme never appeared from the seed.
Would it be better to buy them while they are in small pots?, also where is the best place to keep them. I keep the basil on the window cill and water it everyday.
Thanks for your suggestions.

Well, I’ll tell ya what.
Sweet Cicely (Myrrhis Odoratum) is a perennial herb that is impossible to kill. Impossible to move, too. Broke my best fork trying to move that sucker.
Oregano is a tough old bugger too, and gives you the added bonus of being completely covered in butterflies while it blooms.
Parsley is pretty much of a snot to grow from seed. Get yourself some small plants but remember, it is a biennial, so after it blooms its second year, say “bye-bye.”
Purchase thyme hybrids from plants as well.
Congratulations on getting the Basil to grow!
Sage is a tough shrub but if you want specific varieties you will have to buy the named plants.
Check yourself out some good herb books from the library and see for yourself what you like and what will be agreeable to your climate.
Lavender is a perennial, and consequently, long lived.
Starting plants from plug/puts is easier, but is more expensive and there is less variety.
Herbs need a sunny (south) window sill, or better yet, plant them outside in full sun.
Rosemary is quite easy. I’ve also had oregano get out of control. Mint, great, but keep it in a pot or container because it’s quite invasive.
Windows are great places for herbs as long as it doesn’t get too hot.

My MIL has beautiful MINT plants.. Spearmint and chocolate mint… They come back every year… Just be warned they spread like MAD! So, put them in their own space.. The chocolate mint is especially nice smells like chocomint!
try varieties of mint. there’s a clump in my garden that was here when we moved in ten years ago and is still going strong.
