What herbs grow well together and how to care for them?

Mediterranean herbs consist of sage, rosemary, marjoram, lavender, oregano, and thyme. These herbs can be planted together and require no greater care than proper watering and light.

Having an herb garden will make your garden even more beautiful. Herbs from markets are transported long distances over many days or even weeks. This travel time can cause the depletion of vitamins, minerals and their flavor. For this reason, you should grow your own herbs. Plus, you will love the freshness and flavor of your own herbs.

You can grow your herbs outdoors in the ground, in a raised bed, or in containers. But not all have an outdoor space. Fortunately, herbs are very easy to grow indoors.

In this article we will learn which herbs grow well together, so that we can grow them in a small space or in any type of container.

Here are some categories of herbs you can plant together.

1. Mediterranean herbs: These herbs are very sun-loving. And they also enjoy dry soil rather than wetter soil. Some examples of Mediterranean herbs are sage, rosemary, marjoram, lavender, oregano, and thyme. We can plant these herbs together in a pot or any other pot.
2. Moisture Loving Herbs: These herbs also love sunlight, but they like a higher level of soil moisture. Basil and parsley are moisture-loving herbs and we can plant them together.
3. Mints –Peppermint herbs are very noticeable due to their invasive nature. They can even take up your entire herb garden in a few weeks. Therefore, it is always recommended to grow them separately in containers.
   We can’t grow peppermint with other herbs, but some types can grow together like: spearmint, spearmint, orange peppermint, and lemon balm.
4. Lemon-scented herbs: Lemon thyme and lemon verbena are two popular lemon-scented herbs. We can grow them together and we will have no problem.
