Popular Herb Varieties
Basil
To Harvest Basil: For the best flavor and freshest leaves, harvest basil in the morning after the dew has dried but before the heat of the afternoon.
Rosemary
When Harvesting: Fresh stem tips and leafy sprigs anytime during the growing season. Morning harvests often provide the strongest aroma and flavor.
Thyme
Harvest young stems and leafy sprigs anytime during the growing season. Best flavor is just before flowering, and can be used immediately or dried for year-round cooking.
Cat Grass & Cat Mint
We've got a kitty herb collection! Cat mint (Nepeta spp.) is related to catnip and produces aromatic foliage and flowers that many cats find interesting. Cat Grass is tender grass grown specifically for pets to nibble.
Parsley
Whether you're growing Triple Curled or Italian Flat Leaf, the key is simple: harvest the outer stems first and leave the center of the plant growing.
Cilantro and Culantro
Bright, bold Cilantro is used in Latin American while Culantro is for Asian cooking. Cilantro thrives in cool seasons, and Culantro prefers summer heat.
Chives
Mild onion flavor with pretty purple blooms. Great for eggs, potatoes, and as an edible garnish.
Oregano
Bold Mediterranean flavor for pizzas, pastas, and grilled meats. Mexican oregano adds an earthy, slightly citrusy note that gives salsa additional depth. Very hardy and easy to grow in Colorado.
Sage Variations
Classic flavor is earthy and aromatic, for poultry, sausage and stuffing, and beautiful as a silvery-leafed ornamental in the garden. Pineapple sage is perfect for teas, cocktails, fruit salads, and its vibrant red flowers are a pollinator magnet.
Lavender
Beloved for its fragrance, aromatherapy, drying & crafts, and culinary uses. Thrives in Colorado's sunny, dry climate. Lavender is a pollinator magnet. Best choice for Zone 5: Vera Lavender

Herb Growing Tip
Most herbs thrive in full sun and well-drained soil. Harvest regularly to encourage bushy growth and prevent bolting. At The Flower Bin, our staff can help you choose the right varieties for your space.
