Growth Timeline

  • Growing Season: Most herbs and flowers have a peak growing season that starts in Spring and extends through Fall. Some herbs, such as parsley and cilantro, continue to thrive outside of these seasons. Most herbs can survive year-round. However, they will be dormant during the mild winter months.
  • First Harvest: Herbs grow slower and can take 1-2 months to get to a harvesting stage. Take frequent cuttings once reaching this point for the longevity of the plant.
  • Final Harvest: Herbs will last easily through a season. Many varieties are perennials and will become dormant in the winter before popping back into action in the spring.

Growing Zone

Most Herbs prefer warmer temperatures and will be dormant or grow very slowly in the winter. There are different edible floral varieties that grow throughout the seasons. Be aware of the extreme temperature ranges in your region:

COLD CLIMATES

  • If you live in a location where the temperatures dip below freezing, then you will want to wait to grow herbs until night temperatures are in the 50's consistently.
  • On the occasional dips into the 40's or 30's, you can cover your seedlings with a sheet overnight.

WARM CLIMATES:

  • Herbs do just fine in the heat!

To find out what extreme temperatures your location experiences, check out the USDA zone for your region.

More Herb & Floral Tips

  • Best Planted Wall Placement: It's best to place them at the bottom where they'll get last dibs on the water. They also tend to grow larger and trail so near the bottom is best.
  • Watering: Herbs don't need as much water as lettuce and leafy greens. In fact, most varieties like to dry out in between watering.
