Container herb seeds — fresh herbs for pots and windowsills

You don't need a garden to grow your own herbs — most of the kitchen favourites thrive in pots on a sunny windowsill, doorstep or balcony, ready to snip whenever you cook. This collection gathers the best pot-friendly picks from our herb seed range. New to herbs? Our herb growing guide covers the basics.

Many herbs can be sown for a year-round windowsill supply — the calendar shows when.

The best herbs for pots

Grow a pot of basil for summer, parsley and chives for year-round snipping, and contain vigorous mint that would otherwise take over. Most of our culinary herbs grow happily in a container.

Growing herbs in containers

Use a good pot of fresh, free-draining compost, keep it in a bright, sunny spot, and water as needed — Mediterranean herbs like it on the dry side, leafy ones a little moister. Pick regularly to keep tender new growth coming.

Building a windowsill garden? Here's where to look next.
