Frequently Asked Questions

How far apart should herbs be planted?
Small herbs like chives and cilantro need 6 inches. Medium herbs like basil and oregano need 12 inches. Large herbs like rosemary and sage need 18-24 inches.
Can herbs be planted close together?
Some herbs grow well together (basil and parsley), but many compete for resources. Follow spacing guidelines and keep aggressive spreaders like mint in separate containers.
