5 Herbs To Grow Inside Year-Round

Keep these on a nearby windowsill to up your dinner-making game.

1. Bay

It's a perennial that does best using the container gardening method. Place the pot in an east- or west-facing window, but be sure it does not get crowded—bay needs air circulation to remain healthy.

2. Basil

Start basil from seeds and place the pots in a south-facing window—it likes lots of sun and warmth.

3. Oregano

Your best bet is to start with a tip that has been cut from an outdoor oregano plant. Once you've then planted that tip in a pot, place it in a south-facing window.

4. Parsley

You can start one of The Absolute Easiest Herbs To Grow Indoors from seeds or dig up a clump from your garden at the end of the season. Parsley likes full sun—but will grow slowly in an east- or west-facing window

5. Sage

Take a tip that has been cut from an outdoor plant to start an indoor sage plant. It tolerates dry, indoor air well—but it needs the strong sun that it will get from a south-facing window.
