Tips for Growing a Garden of Aromatic Plants You

  • don't require a lot of space to grow aromatic plants, you can have them in separate small pots or group them according to their type.
  • Separate annuals from perennials, as they have different care depending on their life cycle. Perennials have leaves year-round. Within this group are rosemary, lavender, thyme, sage, and mint. Annuals last only one season, complete their cycle and die, like basil, dill and chives.
  • As for watering,
  • all aromatic plants require periodic watering, but some are more demanding than others. Basil, parsley, cilantro, and mint require a lot of care with water, while rosemary, lavender, thyme, and sage stand up to droughts a little better.
  • When you harvest the leaves or flowers for cooking or making infusions, it stimulates the growth of the plants and prevents them from entering the cycle of maturity-flowering-death. Do small pruning, never more than 1/3 of the plant at a time.
  • Remove the flowers from your plant, as this will keep it constantly growing, with fresh and large leaves.
  • Reproduce your aromatics with cuttings or seeds, it's very simple and will keep you with new specimens for your garden and kitchen.
