Basil
Planter: Basil thrives in medium to large planters with good drainage, such as the Medium Sea Blue Plant Pot & Saucer.
Care Tips: Trim basil regularly to encourage bushy growth. Pinch off the top leaves to prevent flowering, which can cause the plant to become bitter.
Recommended planters
Rosemary
Planter: Use deep planters like the Large Evergreen Plant Pot & Saucer, as rosemary has a deep root system and requires a drainage hole.
Care Tips: Trim rosemary by cutting just above a pair of leaves to encourage new growth. Harvest sprigs as needed, but avoid cutting back more than a third of the plant at a time.
Recommended planters
Mint
Planter: Mint spreads rapidly, so it's best planted in a separate pot to prevent it from overtaking other plants. Consider using wide pots like the Large Sea Blue Wide Plant Pot & Saucer.
Care Tips: Trim mint regularly to keep it from becoming leggy. Harvest leaves frequently to encourage new growth.
Recommended planters
Thyme
Planter: Small to medium-sized planters like the Small Blue Floral Herb Pot work well for thyme and the delicate pretty pattern pairs perfectly with the dainty leaves of the plant.
Care Tips: Trim thyme frequently to maintain its shape and encourage new growth. Cut back stems just above a growth node.
