Fresh kitchen flavors from your garden

This curated range of Culinary Herb Seeds brings classic kitchen staples and aromatic rarities together, from basil seeds and parsley seeds to thyme seeds, rosemary seeds, and oregano seeds. Selected for generous flavour, fragrance and ornamental interest, many varieties carry delicate blooms that extend the flowering display and support pollinating insects. Cooking Herb Seeds and other Herb Seeds for Cooking in this category suit everyday seasoning as well as gourmet infusions, providing fresh leaves and seeds for sauces, marinades, and teas. Annual herbs such as dill and cilantro/coriander sit alongside robust perennial herbs including sage, mint, and tarragon, creating a resilient, biodiversity-friendly planting palette for borders, raised beds, and windowsill herbs. This breadth makes Culinary Herb Seeds a versatile foundation for both compact and larger kitchen gardens.

Designed for flexible spaces, Culinary Herb Seeds perform reliably in containers and compact plots, with many options ideal for an indoor herb garden or sunny patio. For best results, provide full sun, with partial shade in hot spells, and set plants in well-drained, moderately fertile soil to avoid waterlogged conditions. Sowing can begin indoors from late winter to spring; direct sow after last frost, and in mild climates autumn sowing may be possible. Companion planting herbs in this collection can help diversify plantings and attract beneficial insects. This assortment of Kitchen Herb Seeds also includes organic herb seeds and heirloom herb seeds selections valued for authentic character and steady growth.

Whether establishing a classic medley of chives seeds, marjoram seeds, and chervil seeds, or experimenting with lemongrass seeds and fennel seeds, these Culinary Herb Seeds offer fragrant harvests across the season. Compact habits suit pots and windowsills, while taller types fill borders with texture before their blossoms invite bees and other pollinators. Together, these Aromatic Herb Seeds enrich dishes and garden spaces in equal measure.

Kitchen Herb Seeds

This navigator highlights related herb seed categories for cooking and infusion blends. It spans quick-to-mature kitchen staples and longer-lived perennials, covering types suited to varied spaces and growing conditions. It helps locate classic choices such as basil and parsley, aromatic selections for scent, and options well-suited to teas and infusions.

Kitchen Herb Seeds

Kitchen herbs such as basil, parsley, cilantro, chives and thyme thrive in full sun, shifting to partial shade in hot spells. Start seeds indoors from late winter to spring; transplant after hardening off or direct sow after the last frost. In mild climates, autumn sowing may also be possible. Plant in well-drained, moderately fertile soil and avoid waterlogged conditions. Water to keep the top layer just moist, easing off for Mediterranean herbs like rosemary, oregano and sage. Feed lightly during active growth and pinch tips to promote bushiness in annual herbs like basil and dill. For an indoor herb garden or windowsill herbs, ensure bright light and good airflow.

  • Well-suited to containers: use pots with ample drainage and a gritty, free-draining mix; keep thirstier mint separate.
  • Let a portion of chives, dill, cilantro and thyme flower to aid pollinators; deadhead others to limit self-seeding.
  • Harvest leaves in the cool of morning once established; take no more than a third of growth at a time for sustained yields.
  • Mix fine (dill, chives) and bold (sage, rosemary) textures for attractive borders and windowsill planters.
  • Sow shallow—about 2–3× seed thickness; many, like basil and chervil, benefit from light exposure; keep surface evenly moist.
  • Annual herbs (basil, dill, cilantro) respond to frequent pinching; prune woody perennial herbs (rosemary, thyme, oregano) lightly after flowering.

How do I grow culinary herbs from seed successfully?

For Culinary Herb Seeds, start with a fine, well-drained, moderately fertile mix and avoid waterlogged conditions. Sow thinly; many small seeds (basil seeds, chives seeds, oregano seeds) are covered lightly or pressed into the surface, then kept evenly moist. Provide bright light in full sun; in hot climates, partial shade helps reduce stress. Prick out or thin seedlings to allow airflow and reduce crowding; sprawling types like dill seeds and cilantro seeds appreciate room. Transplant once frosts have passed and roots fill their cells. Herbs are generally modest feeders; steady moisture and regular light trims encourage branching and fresh, flavorful growth.

When should I sow kitchen herb seeds outdoors or start them indoors?

Start indoors from late winter to spring for a head start, then set plants out after the last frost when days brighten. Direct sow outdoors once the soil is workable and no frost is expected. Heat lovers such as basil seeds and lemongrass seeds prefer warm soil and stable nighttime temperatures. Cool-season herbs like cilantro/coriander seeds and chervil often perform best in the cooler edges of the season, with sowings staggered to avoid heat-triggered bolting. In mild climates, autumn sowing can be possible for hardy types (parsley seeds, chives seeds, some perennial herbs) to establish before winter.

Which culinary herbs grow well in containers and on windowsills?

Many culinary herbs adapt well to pots, provided drainage is excellent. Basil, chives, parsley, cilantro, thyme, oregano, and marjoram are reliable container choices; rosemary and sage grow larger and benefit from roomier containers; mint spreads vigorously and is often best contained in its own pot. Use a free-draining mix, water when the top layer dries, and avoid soggy saucers. Aim for full sun on a bright windowsill for Mediterranean herbs; partial shade suits parsley and mint. Container soil warms and dries faster than borders, so monitor moisture more closely, and rotate pots for even, compact growth.

Which culinary herb seeds are best for beginners and for fresh, fast cooking?

Beginner-friendly choices from seed include basil seeds, dill seeds, cilantro/coriander seeds, and chives seeds; they germinate readily in warmth and can reach harvestable shoots relatively quickly with steady light and moisture. For longer-lived flavor, perennial or semi-woody herbs such as thyme seeds, oregano seeds, sage seeds, and rosemary seeds provide ongoing harvests once established, though some can be slower to sprout and mature. Fennel seeds offer flavorful fronds and later seed heads; marjoram and tarragon (where grown from seed) add gentle aromatics. Grow sun-lovers in bright exposures, reserving partial shade for parsley and mint to keep leaves tender.

Any tips for starting basil and parsley from seed?

Basil favors warmth, fine-textured media, and consistent moisture without saturation; sow shallowly, provide strong light, and avoid chilling drafts to keep seedlings compact. Begin gentle pinching once plants are established to encourage bushy growth. Parsley seeds can be slower and irregular to sprout; sow a bit thicker, keep the surface evenly moist, and be patient. Some growers pre-soak seeds briefly before sowing. Thin to allow space for robust crowns, and harden off both basil and parsley before planting outside after the last frost. Regular, light harvests of young leaves help maintain leafy, aromatic plants.

Are herb flowers good for pollinators, and will culinary herbs self-seed?

Herb blossoms are valuable for pollinators; bees and beneficial insects readily visit thyme, oregano, chives, sage, rosemary, dill, fennel, and cilantro flowers. Allowing a few plants to bloom supports biodiversity, and seed heads can be saved for the spice rack (coriander seeds, dill seeds) or re-sowing. Some annuals may self-seed lightly if spent blooms are left to mature, helping renew patches over time; if you prefer tidy beds, deadhead to limit volunteers. Note that once leafy herbs bolt, leaf flavor can become stronger or coarser, so many gardeners harvest leaves frequently and designate a few plants for flowering.

Seeds are sourced from vetted producers and packed to meet applicable plant health and seed quality regulations. Where relevant, treatments and origin are declared on product pages. Germination and purity are assessed to industry norms, though performance varies with microclimate, soil, hardiness zone, and hemisphere. Guidance here is general and may differ under local conditions; product pages carry specific instructions and batch details.

Fresh kitchen flavors from your garden

Culinary herb seeds offer versatile, aromatic plants for containers and beds. Sow warmth‑loving varieties after the last frost; hardy types tolerate cooler starts, and in mild climates autumn sowing may be possible. Provide free‑draining soil, steady moisture, and ample light; many prefer full sun, though some, like parsley and mint, handle partial shade. Make small, frequent sowings of fast growers to keep leaves tender, and harvest regularly to encourage branching. Perennial herbs respond well to light pruning to maintain shape and concentrated flavor. For compact spaces, choose dwarf or cut‑and‑come‑again selections suited to windowsills and patio pots. Flavor profiles range from soft, leafy greens to resinous, woody sprigs, adding fresh notes to salads, broths, and roasts. This collection sits within the wider Herbs Seeds category.
