Seasonal Interest: How Herb Plants Change Through the Year

Most herbs keep their shape through the seasons, though their pace changes as the weather shifts.

  • Spring brings new shoots and brighter leaves
  • Summer gives a strong scent, fuller growth, and small edible flowers
  • Autumn encourages slower, steady growth and gentle pruning
  • Winter keeps hardy herbs such as rosemary and bay ticking over

How to Choose and Grow Herb Plants

Choosing herbs is mainly about the flavour you enjoy and where you plan to keep them. Many herbs are happy in pots, and most reward light trimming and regular picking. With simple care, they settle quickly.

  • Place sun-loving herbs in bright spots with some shelter
  • Keep compost lightly moist and let excess water drain away
  • Pick often to encourage new shoots
  • Refresh the compost when you repot into a larger container
  • Look after tender herbs in colder months
  • Shape woody herbs in spring for stronger growth
