Container herb gardening is a convenient way to enjoy herbs. Pots can be placed directly outside the kitchen for easy access while you are cooking. You can also make a beautiful display using herb pots. Many of the newer cultivators are available in unique colors and variegation. By combining different herbs you can have not only a striking container, but a useful one as well.
Herbs grown in pots do very well.
They prefer to stay on the dry side, which pots allow, especially if you choose terra cotta pots. Also, fast-spreading herbs, like mints, that quickly take over a flower bed can be contained in a pot. Herbs also need plenty of sun, and pots allow you to place your pots in a sunny location. For something different, try adding vegetables to your herb containers. Remember that pots look better when grouped together in different sizes.
