I want to grow my own herbs. What herbs are suited to the same pot,?

Question

I preferably would like to grow corainder, sage, rosemary, parsley, basil and thyme.

can I just pot them any old way, or am I best keeping basil away from sage for example.

Answer 1

I have a large pot on my deck with cilantro,  oregano, parsley and chives in it

Answer 2

I would try to make sure that any combination of herbs likes the same amount of water (eg don't try sage and thyme as sage needs lots of water and thyme doesnt). At the moment I'm growing sage and corriander together with no problems at all. Like the other contributor said I'm growing mint in its own pot as  it does spread!

Answer 3

I think you can grow any herbs together - just dont try mint - it takes over

Answer 4

You need a large pot or at least several pots if you want them to continue to do well, and you need to decide if you want to mix annuals with perennials or if you'd prefer to have one or the other. Anything in the mint family is a bad idea to plant together. Spearmint, peppermint, some basils, lemon balm, bee balm (aka bergamot), catnip and even fennel are all going to run everything else out of the garden, if you want an of these, plant them seperately and give them lots of room. Other than that I'd keep rosemary seperate also b/c it doesn't like water as much as some of the others. Honestly they all do better if in the ground, but depending on you and where you are some herbs do better than others in or out of pots. I would not start planting now though the season is getting to late, it's almost harvesting time. I usually start my garden from seeds indoors at the end of January or the beginning of Feburary, that way if something should not take well I always have the option of getting an established plant. I usually then add bits and bobs that I find but I stop around the beginning of May.

I hope this helps.
