Garden to Table

There's nothing quite like cooking with herbs you've grown yourself. The Flower Bin carries a wide selection of culinary and medicinal herbs throughout the growing season. From classic kitchen staples like basil and rosemary to specialty varieties and medicinal herbs, our herb department has everything you need to create a thriving herb garden. We carry both individual plants and pre-planted herb combination bowls for instant gardens.

Popular Herbs

Basil

Basil

The king of culinary herbs — available in sweet, Thai, lemon, and purple varieties. Loves heat and full sun; pinch flowers to keep leaves coming all season.

Rosemary

Rosemary

Fragrant, woody herb that's excellent for cooking and beautiful in the landscape. Drought-tolerant once established and evergreen in mild winters.

Thyme

Thyme

Versatile culinary herb with tiny leaves and a robust, earthy flavor. Thrives in poor, well-drained soil and makes a lovely low-growing ground cover.

Mint

Mint

Vigorous and refreshing — available in spearmint, peppermint, chocolate, and more. Best grown in containers to keep its enthusiastic spreading in check.

Parsley

Parsley

Essential kitchen herb available in flat-leaf Italian and curly varieties. Rich in vitamins and a natural breath freshener straight from the garden.

Cilantro

Cilantro

Bright, citrusy herb beloved in Mexican, Asian, and Middle Eastern cuisines. Bolts quickly in heat — succession-sow every few weeks for a steady supply.

Chives

Chives

Easy-to-grow onion-family herb with edible lavender flowers and mild, fresh flavor. One of the first herbs to emerge in spring and among the last to fade.

Oregano

Oregano

Pungent Mediterranean herb essential for Italian and Greek cooking. Flavor intensifies when dried; grows vigorously in full sun with minimal water.

Sage

Sage

Earthy, aromatic herb with beautiful silvery foliage and culinary versatility. Pairs beautifully with poultry and pork and attracts pollinators in bloom.

Lavender

Lavender

Fragrant herb with culinary, medicinal, and ornamental uses — a Colorado favorite. Thrives in our dry climate and blooms reliably in full sun with excellent drainage.

Growing Tips

Most herbs prefer full sun and well-draining soil. Harvest regularly to encourage bushy, productive growth. Avoid over-watering — herbs like basil and rosemary prefer to dry slightly between waterings. Many herbs can be grown in containers on a sunny patio or windowsill.
