How to Grow Your Favorite Herbs

In this section, we show you how to grow 49 of the more popular and useful herbs are individually illustrated and described in detail. Many of them are culinary herbs that you can grow either in the garden or indoors and whose leaves or seeds can be used to season foods. Others possess fragrances which will give sweet aromas to potpourris and dried arrangements. A few of these herbs find their only contemporary use as highly ornamental landscape plants. For each herb covered below, you will find a description of its principal species and varieties, their foliage and flowers, growth habits, cultural requirements, means of propagation, harvesting information, and suggestions for uses in the garden, in cooking, or in fragrant preparations. In addition, each description contains a paragraph which explains the plant's history, folklore, and early uses. These herbs are arranged according to their common names, the botanical name of each following in parentheses. For convenience, a quick reference list of vital information is provided at the top of each description.
