Herb planter ideas – ways to grow in containers and pots
(Image credit: Leigh Clapp)
Are you looking for herb planter ideas? Whether you want to grow herbs inside on your window sill or you want ideas for growing and displaying herbs in containers in the garden, we've got plenty of inspiration.
Used in cooking and for infusing hot drinks, as well as for their aroma and for medicinal purposes, herbs have so many benefits so it’s worth growing your own and the great thing is, you don’t need a large garden to grow them – most herbs grow well in containers which are perfect for small gardens, patio areas or inside on window sills. From hanging baskets to old wheelbarrows, almost any container is suitable provided it has drainage holes; the options are endless, so why not let your imagination run riot.

Whatever you choose, it is useful to position container grown herbs near a back door, or close to the house, so that they are easy to access for harvesting. It is also important to include grit in your compost when planting herbs into containers.
In his monthly blog gardening expert Monty Don shares his tips for growing herbs stating that, 'if the water does not flow almost immediately through the pot that they are in then the drainage is not good enough. If you are planting herbs in a container mix general purpose peat-free compost with at least an equal measure of grit or sharpsand.'
1. Grow herbs in a strawberry planter
(Image credit: Leigh Clapp)
Strawberry planters make brilliant planters for growing herbs, particularly low growers such as oregano, thyme or mint. Large pots with several pockets, the containers allow an array of different herbs in one place.
It’s recommended to opt for terracotta as terracotta is a porous material which allows air and moisture to pass through easily resulting in healthier plants.

2. Create an attractive display by arranging potted herbs on staggered shelves

If you’re short of patio space then try arranging potted herbs on a plant stand such as the Aldsworth design Garden Trading. Using an array of pot styles, from traditional terracotta, to colorful glazed and galvanised metal designs, will help add bring variety and interest.

Planting herbs in an array of outdoor planters and suspending them is a brilliant way to maximise floor space on a small patio or balcony area.
Lightweight plastic containers or old tin cans would work well, or you could even use an old colander – perfect with its readymade drainage holes.
4. Use potted herbs to create a fragrant escape

Ornamental as well as practical, potted herbs in a range of heights can be arranged on a patio area to create a pretty feature, but they also great for adding fragrance to a garden seating area.

5. Use recycled tins as herb planters for an eye-catching display
(Image credit: Future / Tim Young)
Saving up old tomato tins with retro labels and repurposing them as herb planters is a great way to cut down on your waste but also to create a fun display with a Mediterranean twist. Simply drill holes in the bottoms for drainage.
6. Use reclaimed vessels as herb planters
(Image credit: Future / Judith Everitt)
Offering a rustic, weathered patina from years of use, reclaimed metal containers such as farm troughs, old galvanised baths and dolly tubs – historically used for washing clothes – make characterful planters for herbs.
7. Arrange potted herbs on an old crate for a rustic display

Old creates can be easily picked up from flea markets will bring vintage charm to a patio space and can be easily moved indoors or throughout the garden.
8. Opt for a window box herb planter

You don't need a garden to grow herbs; most can be grown inside in individual pots on a window sill or in a window box by a sunny window. Growing herbs on the kitchen window sill is really convenient for cooking.
9. Maximise space by thinking vertically
(Image credit: Getty Images)
Make the most of a small garden by using every inch of space. Consider fixing planters to garden walls and clustering potted herbs on old chairs to help make extra space for more pots on the ground. Growing herbs at different levels will also add decorative interest, too.
10. Add vintage charm by displaying herbs in enamelware
(Image credit: Future)
Displaying shop bought herbs in colorful vintage enamel cups and teapots is a great way to disguise unsightly plastic pots – just make sure they are left sitting in water.
Is it better to plant herbs in pots or in the ground?
Most herbs can be grown in the ground or in containers. Sometimes, it is preferable to grow certain herbs in containers. Growing slightly tender herbs such as myrtle, lemon verbena and scented geraniums in pots or containers is preferable to borders because it means they can easily be moved indoors during winter months. It is also recommended to grow invasive plants such as mint in containers to help control its growth and prevent them from taking over.
One thing to remember when growing herbs in containers rather than in the ground is that herbs in containers is that in hot weather they can be quick to dry out, be sure to keep an eye on them and to keep them well watered.
What herbs can be planted together?
Many herbs can be planted together provided they like the same growing conditions and have the same irrigation needs. Many herbs are Mediterranean in origin – such as rosemary, thyme and oregano, – and so all thrive in sunny conditions and free –draining soil and work well when planted together.
Herbs such as parsley and basil on the other hand will require more constant moisture.

Fresh herbs make even the best cooking better.
It's easy to get all the flavor of an herb garden on your windowsill.
Choose the best location
Your herb garden can really grow anywhere in your home. A sunny window works well if you have at least 4 hours of direct sunlight in the window for most herbs. This is not always easy to do. If you have a sunny window, turn your herbs every 3 days or so so they don't grow unevenly. nine0061
If, like many indoor gardeners, you lack natural light, you can still grow just fine with the addition of growing light. These lights are available online or at your local garden center. Place them to illuminate the area above your herbs for at least 4-6 hours a day and your garden will flourish.
Your lighting needs
- Window with direct sunlight for at least 4 hours (preferably 6) per day
- Use growing light if you don't have enough natural light
Choose your herbs
The herbs you use the most will be the ones that work best in your garden.
There is no point in growing herbs that you don't like or don't use recipes often.
The trick with beautiful herbs on the windowsill is to plant two sets of identical plants. You can then turn the fresh grass out the window when needed and leave your twin to return to the optimal growing location. nine0061
Select and prepare pots
Growing any herb in a container garden means taking extra care to select and prepare the right pot.
Herbs grow fast and can fill a pot with roots in less than one growing season. Choose pots that can drain well.
Fill the pot with fill. Ceiling mix will not compact over time and is designed for growing containers. Leave half an inch of soil between the potting mix and potting mix. nine0061
This will allow for some settling, which is normal when the plant is first planted, and gives room for watering.
Plant grass seed or transplant grass plants and dry thoroughly.
Allow the drain until the pot is no longer dripping and place the tray underneath on the windowsill to catch the dripper.
Caring for your kitchen garden
Now your herbs are planted, they need a little care. Most importantly, remember to prune or prune your herbs regularly. Keeping them trimmed means more yield for you and stronger herbs. Try to cut back on new growth at least once a week and any long stems as they appear. nine0061
Rotate your herb pots regularly, especially if they are growing towards a sunny window. Not only does this allow them to grow evenly, it keeps one side from fading from lack of light.
Keep your herbs regularly watered. Do this by placing pea gravel in a tray and place your grass pots on that tray. Fill the top tray with water once a week and your herbs will absorb what they need from the bottom of the pots. Then the water that remains below the gravel level will provide extra moisture for your windowsill.
