Why Choose This Herb Collection?

• Space-Saving: Compact growth habits make these herbs ideal for pots, raised beds, or even window boxes—bring your garden indoors!

Planting & Care Guide

• Light: Most herbs prefer full sun (at least 6 hours daily), but parsley and mint tolerate partial shade.
• Soil: Well-draining soil with a neutral pH (6.0–7.0) suits all included varieties.
• Watering: Water regularly but avoid soggy soil. Allow the top layer to dry slightly between waterings.
• Sowing Time: Sow seeds indoors from February–April or outdoors after the last frost (typically April–May in the UK).
• Harvesting: Begin picking leaves once plants are established—regular harvesting encourages bushier growth and more yield.

Culinary Inspiration & Companion Planting

• Add freshly snipped basil to tomato salads or pasta dishes.
• Muddle mint into drinks or desserts for a cooling twist.
• Use dill with fish or potatoes; parsley brightens up soups and sauces.
• Cilantro is perfect for curries and salsas; lemongrass brings citrus notes to stir-fries and teas.

This collection pairs well with vegetables like tomatoes and peppers—herbs can help deter pests naturally when planted nearby.
