Annual herb seeds for a season of flavour

Annual herbs grow fast, crop hard and finish in a single season — which makes them perfect for quick, fresh flavour. Sow basil for summer, fast coriander and dill straight into the ground, and keep a windowsill of parsley on the go. A few short rows keep the kitchen supplied from spring to autumn.

New to herbs? Our guide shows you how to sow and grow herbs from seed.

Growing annual herbs

Most are easy and quick. Sow basil indoors for warmth, and sow coriander and dill direct, little and often, as they run to seed quickly in hot weather. Pinch and pick regularly to keep plants leafy and productive.

More herbs to grow

For herbs that return each year, see our perennial herbs; for the fragrant kinds, aromatic herbs; and for everything in one place, all herb seeds. Most grow well in pots too — try our container-friendly herbs.

Start with the two quick-croppers every kitchen wants on hand all summer long.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which annual herbs are easiest to grow?
Basil, coriander, dill and parsley are quick and forgiving, and ideal first herbs to grow from seed.
Why does my coriander bolt so fast?
Coriander runs to seed in heat and dry soil — sow little and often, keep it watered, and pick young.
Should I sow annual herbs indoors or direct?
Sow tender basil indoors for warmth; coriander, dill and chervil do best sown direct where they are to grow.
What is the difference between annual and perennial herbs?
Annual herbs last a single season, while perennials such as thyme and sage return year after year.
Do you ship across the EU?
Yes, orders ship from Meppel in the Netherlands with fast EU delivery, and the final shipping cost is shown at checkout.
