Top Herb Seed Sellers:

Basil - Basil herb seed is one of the most popular herbs grown in the herb garden.  We offer six different types of basil seeds: Thai, Italian, Sweet, Red Rubin, Lemon, and Cinammon. Pick the leaves and use fresh or dried in tomato dishes, pasta sauces, vegetables and soups. You can also use it in the herb garden as a companion plant to repel aphids, mites and tomato hornworms. Basil herb seed is a must have.

Catnip - Catnip herb seed brings the good animals into the garden and keeps the pests away! Irresistible to cats and bees, it is a spreading, carefree joy in the bed or border, blooming all summer with fragrant flowers and foliage. There are many gardeners who began growing catnip to please their cats and were so delighted with these herb plants that they ended up a permanent feature in the garden!

Chamomile - Roman chamomile can form an evergreen carpet of fragrant green! This the species grown for the famous British "chamomile lawns"! If you have ever dreamed about growing a chamomile lawn, this is the variety to try! German Chamomile is a must-have herb if you enjoy drinking hot or cold teas. The flowers are a staple ingredient in herbal tea concoctions, where they have a soothing, calming effect. Both of these herb seeds are great for the herb garden.

Chives - The one must-have kitchen herb, chives are perfect for almost any savory dish. Chives' fine, tubular leaves impart a delicate onion flavor to cooking. Beyond cooking with chives, the herb plants are great garden companion plants to repel insect pests. If you like the herb chives, you'll have to try garlic chives! The same great mild onion flavor is imparted with a distinctive garlic scent and taste.

Cilantro - This annual herb has an unmistakable strong, sharp scent and taste that has become the staple ingredient in salsa and other Mexican dishes. Cut and dry the heads, harvesting the seeds and using them as the spice coriander. Coriander can be used whole or ground in curries, Oriental dishes, and savory baked goods.

Lavender - We have three different lavender seed varieties: Munstead, Hidcote, and English. Lavender is one of the richest in essential oils, meaning more fragrance power both fresh and dried. Grow in a well-drained, neutral to alkaline soil in an open, sunny spot. Trim back in spring to encourage bushier growth; also deadhead after flowering.

Oregano - Pungently aromatic, Oregano is one of the most important herbs of Italian, Greek and Mexican cooking. Mainly used dry, the flavor is strong enough to stand up to bold flavors like tomatoes, onion, garlic and beef. Interestingly, the oil is often a little known ingredient in men's colognes. Oregano is a bushy perennial herb with pretty deep purple-brown stems and 1 1/2 inch broadly ovate leaves that often have a red flush.

Rosemary - Rosemary not only is a very popular herb seed, it also makes a great ground cover because it spreads vigorously, and is highly resistant to deer, drought, and pests. Imagine a stand of rosemary tumbling over a low wall or spreading across the dry, sun-soaked ground in your garden! This tough little herb garden gem is one of the most ornamental plants around, yet there is no beating its usefulness when sheer coverage is needed.

Spearmint - Sweetly aromatic Spearmint can be used in both cooking—in the well-known mint jelly and sauces—and in potpurri and other fragrant decorative items. Like other mints, spearmint is extremely easy to grow. In fact, it grows so well, it is best to confine it to containers. You can start indoors 8 - 10 weeks prior to last spring frost or sow directly outdoors in partially shaded, moist, soil. Sow this herb seed only 1/16" deep in very rich, loose soil.

Thyme - No herb garden is complete without thyme seed. Thyme dislikes wet foliage, so surrounding the plant with a layer of gravel can help this. This variety is often planted near vegetables to help control flea beetles and several cabbage pests. May start thyme herb seed indoors 6 weeks prior to transplanting outdoors or may start in the garden in well-drained soil in full sun after the threat of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. Plant these herb seeds 1/4" deep.
