Most herbs prefer full sun and rich, well drained soil.  Water when necessary, but do not over water. Transplant after all danger of frost is past.  Herbs do well in containers which makes it easier to bring them inside during cold weather.

 

 

·        BASIL (Sweet) – Annual - Pinch off flower buds when they appear to keep the plant bushy.  Also available:  Purple Ruffles Basil

 

·        NEW Bronze Fennel - Perennial -  Space 15-18" apart - culinary herb with anise flavor, attracts butterfly caterpillars.  Don't plant near dill or it could cross pollinate

 

·        NEW CATNIP – Perennial – a member of the mint family that your cat will love either fresh or dried

 

·        CHIVES – Perennial – Space 9-12” apart and divide every 3-4 years.  Clip leaves within 1” of soil, never take just the tips.  Remove flowers to ensure a continuous crop.

 

·        CHOCOLATE MINT – Perennial – Spreads readily.

 

·        CILANTRO – Annual – Space 4-6” apart.  Grows a long taproot so if you are growing it in pots make sure they are at least 12” deep.

 

·        DILL – Annual – Transplant carefully about 12” apart.  Dill needs afternoon shade since it doesn’t tolerate heat well.  Will “bolt” when the temperature is around 85°

 

·        OREGANO – Perennial - Plant 10-12” apart.  Water only during dry spells.  Don’t use fertilizer since it can affect the flavor.  Pick in early morning, just after the dew is off for best flavor.

 

·        PARSLEY (flat leaf) – Biennial – Plant 9-12” apart.  Must be covered to protect from cold weather in the winter.

 

·        ROSEMARY – Perennial, but an annual in the Northeast.  Transplant carefully – the roots are delicate.

 

·        NEW SPEARMINT – Perennial

 

·        THYME – Perennial – Plant 12-18” apart and divide every 2-3 years to promote growth.  Thrives in containers.
