There are many perennial herbs to choose from for perennial herb gardens.

Growing Perennial Herbs
When growing perennial herbs, it’s important to remember each genus of herb may have very different soil, water, sun and shade requirements. Not all perennial herbs grow in all climates, either. Growing perennial herbs is a interesting and fun hobby, with the added benefit of good health. Growing perennial herbs for kitchen use can be planned for one area of the garden, while others can be grown as an added feature of a flower or rock garden or to line a sidewalk.

The main thing is to find the herbs you want to grow and then check each herbs requirements. You can then do grouping of plants with similar needs of sunlight and soil. When your plants are ready to be harvested, it is great to know that you raised them yourself and you get the added knowledge of getting the health benefits of the herbs.

If you enjoy the herb growing very much you may move up to doing it part time for extra money. There are a few ways you can make extra income from growing your herbs. Lets talk now about growing and selling your home grown herbs to others.

Growing Herbs for Sale
If you are planning to grow herbs for sale, the quantity planted needs to be increased from a small patch-type garden to perhaps a much larger area. Growing herbs for sale requires more care to insure that the wider growing area doesn’t endure overgrowth of weeds. Growing herbs for sale is a good way to earn extra money while enjoying the beauty of a formal herb garden.

First, try growing a smaller herb garden to become acquainted with how each herb reacts to the elements and care. Rosemary, for instance, tends to grow in shrub-like fashion. So, this is one herb that will have profuse growth and abundance that can be sold. Growing herbs for sale is a way to create your own herbal product line. Marketed properly, the return on investment of time, money and effort will produce a tidy additional income.

Be creative about marketing your herbal products to the general public as well as to large herbal companies that appreciate additional herbal stock from their vendors. This may mean promoting a special featured line of herbs or a particular healthful aspect of how your herbs are grown.

Perennial Herb Garden, A Tradition That Continues
Most perennial herb gardens were originally grown just outside a kitchen window for convenience. Today, many are grown in pots for kitchen windowsills.
