Basil is a popular herb used in savory and sweet recipes. It can be harvested all season and is suitable for indoor and outdoor herb gardens.
Chives spread rapidly in the garden and are harvestable all season. They can be grown indoors, but are a great addition to outdoor gardens because they are one of the first greens to pop up in the spring.

Cilantro is a must if you like cooking Mexican cuisine, but it has a range of applications beyond this. This lacey, leafy plant is an easy keeper that grows well indoors and out.
Dill isn’t as tolerant of imperfect conditions as other herbs, but it is worth growing. Dill needs a lot of sunlight for bushy growth and is best suited for outdoor gardens or indoor pots under a grow light.
