Which herbs grow successfully on kitchen window sills in small pots?

Chives, Thyme, Tarragon, sweet marjoram, sage, rosemary. You can grow them individually in 3–4” pots or as a mixed herb garden dish of 10–12” in diameter.

Basil, parsley or curry plant are also nice to grow on a window sill. Nice in one large pot, as an arrangement.

@partyparty basil and parsley are great herbs but they do tend to overgrow the window sill…and they are annuals you lose the plant at the end of the season.

To make it easy, when you go to the “herb store,” for lack of a better word, they have several kits with a DIY pot and different types of seeds. When you look at those kits, they will have lists of the herbs included. If you look at a few of those (even online, don’t necessarily have to go to the store) you can have a good idea of what grows easily in the kitchen. Hope this helped!

@mrrich724 you’re not making it easy for OP, having to to go the store. Answers are alsready here.

@njnyjobs My herbs never outgrow the window sill… I use them all the time.

Pot.

@partyparty good for you, and as they should be. . . but they’re still annuals

@njnyjobs Yes I realise they are annuals, but the question didn’t stipulate perennials.

@njnyjobs I was assuming that once he had his “list of stuff” he wanted to buy, he would end up going to the store. And that was a piece of insight so that once he gets there, he can “explore” a little more, in case those packages offered any other ideas than were posted here.

I realized he may not want to go to the store which is why I put in parentheses that he can look up those kits online too.

I was just offering an alternative venue to consider in addition to what people wrote here.

To make it easier for him, here is a link to a kit which lists 12 herbs which you can easily grow indoors.

and to make it even easier, here is what it lists off:
Parsley, Thyme, Cilantro, Basil, Dill, Oregano, Sweet Marjoram, Chives, Savory, Garlic Chives, Mustard, Sage

Oregano, thyme, sage, rosemary

mint, basil

Most herbs do very well there.

If you’ve got a little extra room, try patio pot tomatoes.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme

@davidbetterman hah! I bought some of those at Scarborough Fair. Btw, I remembered you to one who lived there.

@Trillian Thanks. She once was a true love of mine…
