Yes. Many herbs thrive even when they’re planted in the same container or garden bed as other herbs. The practice of planting various types of herbs together is called “companion planting.”
For best results, choosing herb varieties with similar needs regarding sunlight, water and soil conditions is essential. The following are some examples of herbs that you can safely plant together.
*Mediterranean Herbs: Some examples are sage, rosemary, lavender, marjoram, thyme and oregano. These herbs prefer arid soil and flourish in the sun.
*Moisture-loving Herbs: These include basil, parsley and lemon balm. These plants do best in slightly moist, not soaked, soil.
*Lemon-scented Herbs: Herbs like lemon verbena, lemon balm and lemon thyme typically require full or partial shade, moderate watering and well-draining soil. An added plus of planting these together is the refreshing fragrance they produce.
