Try these Container Herb Garden Combinations to grow the essential cooking herbs fresh in one pot to increase the flavor of your food.

Even if you’re short of space, you can grow herbs in pots and get a sufficient harvest.
Most cooking herbs like parsley, thyme, oregano, cilantro, mint, sage, rosemary, marjoram, chives, and fennel are easier to grow than other edible plants.

You can plant them together in one single pot and keep them near the kitchen for a quick harvest. When planting herbs together, always do good research about their requirements. Herbs with similar planting needs can be grown together. Invasive herbs like mint and its varieties must be planted in separate pots.
