VIDEO: Which herbs should you plant together?
It is better not to plant these herbs side by side
- basil does not go very well with rue and also not with lemon balm.
- You shouldn't plant marjoram right next to oregano.
- Unfavorable neighbors are also dill next to tarragon, fennel or caraway. The latter do not match either.
- It is better not to plant chamomile and peppermint side by side.
- Coriander and fennel do not go together either.
Herbs that don't go well together
Herbs that do not get along can make the gardener and cook enjoy the ...
Some Herbs however, are so vigorous that the best solution is to grow them at a certain distance from the other plants or to plant them alone in a (not too small) pot. These include, for example, lovage and peppermint.
With this herbal mixture, they all go well together
- Planting annual and biennial herbs right next to each other is usually not a problem. For example, tarragon, rosemary, sage, chives, thyme and lemon balm go well together. Then there is no problem, dill, borage, chervil, cress, Marjoram and parsley in close proximity to each other.
- With thyme you should change the location every year, because it is incompatible with itself. The first location can be reused after three years at the earliest.
- The same applies to dill, oregano, parsley, thyme: they too should get a new location every year.
In addition to the physical compatibility, you should also make sure that the herbs match in color. Blue flowering plants, for example, look good next to yellow flowering ones, while red spots of color look nice between white flowering herbs.
