Perennial Herbs

If you want hardy herbs that last beyond one season, perennial herbs are the way to go. Once established, they’ll quietly get on with growing - offering fresh leaves whenever you need them, without much effort at all. 

Here you'll find reliable favourites like rosemary, sage, oregano, mint, bay, and chives, all suited to UK gardens. They're tough, useful, and easy to slot into beds, borders, pots, or a small herb patch. Plant once and enjoy for years.

Perennial herbs that grow in shade

a few perennial herbs are happy with partial shade

Some perennial herbs are more than happy in a shadier corner of the garden. If you’ve got a spot that only catches the morning sun or is shaded by fences, trees or taller plants - there are still reliable, flavour-packed herbs you can grow year after year.

Mint Spreads quickly if not planted in pots, and does well in more shady spots.

Chives: Unfussy and long-lasting. They’ll grow in light shade and even bloom in early summer with beautiful purple miniature allium flowers.

Lemon Balm: Soft green leaves with a calming scent. Grows well in low light and attracts pollinators.

Lovage: Tall, leafy, and full of flavour. It prefers moist soil and doesn’t mind a bit of cover.
