Herbs List Grown Inside for Winter Season

Aloe Vera: Easy to grow in containers. Aloe is propagated by offshoots from the mother plant. Simply remove baby plants (pups) and re-pot. This is by far the most common way to propagate aloe. The seeds from flowers can also be harvested for propagation.
Basil: Start basil from seeds and place the pots in a south-facing window—it likes lots of sun and warmth or use transplants from the nursery. Many varieties available.
Bay: Evergreen that grows well in containers all year long. Place the pot in an east, or west, facing window. Bays need air circulation to remain healthy.
Chervil: Start from seed or transplants. It grows well in low light but needs 65 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit temperatures to thrive.
Chives: Plant seed or transplants of onion or garlic chives. Clumps can be removed from outdoor plantings and put in pots.
Oregano: Start with a tip cutting from an outdoor plant. Place the pot in a south-facing window. It can also be grown from seed or transplants. Many varieties available.
Mint: Use 4 inch stem cuttings and plunge into organic potting soil. This plant is extremely easy to root and grow. Good to use in salads or teas.
Parsley: Start this herb from seeds or dig up a clump from your garden at the end of the season. It likes full sun, but will grow slowly in an east, or west, facing window.
Rosemary: Start with a cutting of rosemary, use organic potting soil for quick healthy rooting. It grows best in a south-facing window. Several varieties available.
Sage: Use a stem cutting from an outdoor plant to start the indoor plant. It tolerates dry, indoor air well, but it needs the strong sun it will get in a south-facing window. It can be also started from seed or nursery transplants.
Thyme: Start indoors either by rooting a soft tip cutting or by digging up and potting an outdoor plant. Thyme likes full sun but will grow in an east, or west, facing window. Many varieties available.
