How to grow
Sow seeds in well-draining soil or containers, placing them in full sun or bright indoor light. Maintain consistent moisture while seedlings establish. Basil and cilantro prefer regular watering, while thyme and chives thrive in slightly drier conditions once mature. Harvest frequently to encourage new growth. Snip parsley and cilantro from the outer stems, and cut chive stalks close to the base to encourage regrowth.
Flavor profile
Genovese basil is rich and clove-like, parsley fresh and bright, chives mild and onion-like, cilantro bold and citrusy (with nutty coriander seed), and thyme earthy and aromatic.
