What herbs to plant in May, UK?
Try mint, oregano, rosemary, thyme and sage. These can be sown indoors as with the tender herbs, or sow them outdoors in May in containers. Delay buying herb plants from garden centres until the weather warms up in late spring. With other perennial herbs like Mint, Sage, Thyme and Rosemary I like to grow these in large pots outside but with the flexibility to move them around either for outdoor cooking or to promote better growth from the plants.Herbs are great to grow inside year-round, but if you want to plant outside now you can start to plant heat loving herbs like basil, oregano, cilantro thyme and sage.Herbs like basil, mint, thyme, and chives thrive in pots and bring fresh flavor, fragrance, and even pest-repelling benefits right into your kitchen—perfect for year-round harvesting and easy access.
What herbs grow back every year?
Other perennial herbs are lovage, lavender, salad burnet, French tarragon, winter savory, and mint. Use caution when growing mint; plant it in a container to avoid it taking over the garden! Some plants are also referred to as ‘tender perennials’ which are not winter hardy in colder climates. Evergreen flowering perennials will keep their green foliage all year, long after the blooming season is over. Many herbs are particularly known for being great practical flowering plants with evergreen foliage, such as Lavender, Rosemary, and Salvia, among others.
