How to Grow
Plant seeds in full sun and well-draining soil, spacing varieties according to their individual recommendations. Water lightly and infrequently to encourage strong, drought-resistant root systems. Adding mulch can help reduce surface evaporation and maintain soil moisture. Many herbs adapt well to containers, allowing flexibility in placement and maintenance.
Harvest & Use
Clip herbs like thyme, oregano, culinary sage, and marjoram as needed for cooking or drying. Enjoy lavender, California poppy, and blue sage as ornamental and pollinator-friendly additions to the garden. White sage leaves may be harvested sparingly once plants are established. Each variety offers practical value, from seasoning meals to supporting local wildlife.
