FAQS for Buying GardenZest® Herbs Online
Which herbs are included in the GardenZest® collection, and why are they ideal for small spaces?
Which herbs are included in the GardenZest® collection, and why are they ideal for small spaces?
Identify the lineup. The series features compact cultivars of chives (white‑ and pink‑flowering), dwarf basils, compact cilantro, ornamental oregano, and patio‑sized thyme. Each tops out at roughly 12–18 in tall and wide, producing short internodes and dense foliage. Small stature means roots remain comfortable in 8–10 in pots, while tidy tops stay within reach for kitchen snips. GardenZest® herbs pack full culinary flavor into mini habits, making them perfect for balconies, windowsills, and tight raised beds.
How much sun and water do GardenZest® herbs need when grown in containers?
How much sun and water do GardenZest® herbs need when grown in containers?
Mediterranean species like oregano and thyme thrive with 6–8 hours of full sun; leafier basils and cilantro prefer morning sun plus light afternoon shade in hot climates. Herbs in porous potting mix dry faster than in‑ground plantings. Check soil daily: water deeply when the top inch feels dry, then drain saucers so roots never sit in water. Consistent hydration prevents stress that can trigger bolting or bitter flavor. Bright sun plus evenly moist, well‑drained soil sustains lush, fragrant growth.
Are GardenZest® herbs perennial or annual, and in which USDA zones will they overwinter outdoors?
Are GardenZest® herbs perennial or annual, and in which USDA zones will they overwinter outdoors?
Flowering chives and most thymes are hardy perennials; dwarf basils and cilantro are tender annuals; ornamental oregano is perennial but less cold‑tolerant. Chives and thyme overwinter in Zones 3–9, oregano in Zones 5–9, while basil and cilantro complete their life cycle each season unless brought indoors. In colder regions, mulch hardy clumps after ground freeze and pot up annuals for sunny windowsills. Knowing each herb’s life span lets gardeners plan year‑round harvests or timely replacements.
What is the best way to harvest GardenZest® herbs to encourage continuous growth?
What is the best way to harvest GardenZest® herbs to encourage continuous growth?
Wait until stems reach at least six inches. Step 2 – Technique for leafy herbs. Pinch or cut just above a leaf node; this forces two new shoots and doubles future harvest points. Shear a clump no lower than one inch above soil, leaving the center tuft intact to regrow. Harvest every two weeks during peak growth; regular cutting diverts energy from flowers to foliage. Strategic snipping keeps plants compact, productive, and flavorful all season.
Do GardenZest® herbs attract pollinators or beneficial insects, and how can that help my garden?
Do GardenZest® herbs attract pollinators or beneficial insects, and how can that help my garden?
Chive pom‑poms and oregano/thyme clusters produce nectar‑rich, shallow blooms suited to bees, hoverflies, and small wasps. Pollinators aid nearby fruit and vegetable set, while predatory wasps and hoverfly larvae prey on aphids and caterpillars. Position herb pots near vegetable beds or interplant within raised beds to create a mini “beneficial insect station.” GardenZest® herbs season your meals and simultaneously boost garden health by feeding allies that keep pest populations in check.
