Container herb seeds — fresh herbs for pots and windowsills

You don't need a garden to grow your own herbs — most of the kitchen favourites thrive in pots on a sunny windowsill, doorstep or balcony, ready to snip whenever you cook. This collection gathers the best pot-friendly picks from our herb seed range. New to herbs? Our herb growing guide covers the basics.

Many herbs can be sown for a year-round windowsill supply — the calendar shows when.

The best herbs for pots

Grow a pot of basil for summer, parsley and chives for year-round snipping, and contain vigorous mint that would otherwise take over. Most of our culinary herbs grow happily in a container.

Growing herbs in containers

Use a good pot of fresh, free-draining compost, keep it in a bright, sunny spot, and water as needed — Mediterranean herbs like it on the dry side, leafy ones a little moister. Pick regularly to keep tender new growth coming.

Building a windowsill garden? Here's where to look next.

Popular herb categories: Basil · Parsley · Chives · Mint · Culinary Herbs

At SeedsChoice, every order ships from Meppel, NL with fast, tracked EU delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which herbs grow best in pots?
Basil, parsley, chives and mint are ideal, and most culinary herbs do well in a container.

Can I grow herbs without a garden?
Absolutely — a sunny windowsill, doorstep or balcony is all you need.

What compost should I use?
Fresh, free-draining compost in a good-sized pot.

How much water do they need?
Mediterranean herbs like it on the dry side; leafy herbs a little moister.

Should I grow mint in a pot?
Yes — a pot keeps its vigorous roots from taking over the garden.
