Watering Water regularly while the plant is establishing, then allow the upper soil to dry slightly between waterings. Established Mediterranean herbs prefer free-draining conditions and generally need less water than leafy crops. Container-grown plants will still need checking frequently during warm, dry weather.
Best Growing Conditions Grow in sun or partial shade in well-drained soil. A warm, open position with good airflow encourages compact, aromatic growth and helps the soil dry between waterings. Avoid heavy, persistently wet ground, especially through winter.
