Herbs in the Landscape

Herbs not only look great but also flavor and perfume your world!

Flavoring and accenting drinks, baked goods, salads, as garnish, enhancing vegetables, and spicing up main dishes, Herbs are essential to turn a meal from ho-hum to an elegant affair!

• Herbs are fantastic for bringing in butterflies and beneficial pollinators
• Herbs attract Ladybugs, dragonflies, and other beneficial insects
• Companion plants - aromatic foliage drives away pests and keeps mosquitoes away
• Great edging and filler
• Filling in the gaps between plants - Creeping forms are living mulch or groundcover
• Fill Rock Gardens with Xeric Rosemary, Lavender, and Oregano
• Tall Herbs dress up the back of the border and fill out Cottage gardens
• Dill or Parsley plants are host plants for the caterpillars butterflies and other larvae!
• Anise Hyssops, Pineapple Sage, and Chive flowers even attract hummingbirds!
• Sensory garden plants are fragrant and flavorful from top to bottom like Mint and Sage!
• Can be brought indoors for the winter or grown indoors year-round
• The flowers and foliage are beautiful as cut flowers in bouquets

You don't even need a yard to enjoy these space-saving aromatic beauties! Any sunny porch, balcony, terrace, seating area planter, or window box can house plenty of Herbs! You just need some sun!

Bring in the last Herbs as houseplants for the winter, or harvest the entire plant before a frost and dry them is a great way to preserve your harvest and extend the enjoyment of the garden all winter!

Gather bundles of the plant and tie them into little bouquets. Hang them upside down as kitchen decorations that can be used as a seasoning, or use the dried flowers and stems in botanical bouquets and wreaths.

Herbs are easy-to-grow gift plants that anyone will enjoy receiving!

Easy To Grow Herbs!

The best location to grow Herbs outdoors is anywhere in the garden that has at least 6 hours of sunlight. Because these plants do most of their growth cycle in a single growing season, highly fertile and enriched well-drained soil with consistent moisture supports their vigorous growth.

Indoor grown Herbs need all day, bright but indirect sunlight, and very close attention to moisture levels.

• Full Sun (a few handle part shade)
• Well-drained soil - Never soggy
• Enriched, highly organic medium & regular fertility
• Regular moisture needs
• Pinch back or carefully harvest plants for increased branching and keep them bushy
• Cut back most Herbaceous annual and hardy perennial Herbs in autumn (or bring them indoors before frost)
