Care through the season

Keep growth compact by harvesting or trimming regularly where appropriate. Avoid prolonged waterlogging and adapt watering to container size, weather and the plant's natural preference. Container-grown herbs often need closer moisture checks than established plants in open soil.

Harvest, use or garden role

Harvest small amounts regularly when the plant is growing strongly. Flavour, winter hardiness and pruning needs vary between species and cultivars, so local conditions and the intended kitchen use remain important.

Timing note

Calendar dates are orientation only. Local temperature, rainfall, soil condition and cultivar should always take priority over a fixed month.

Editorial standard

This English profile uses the same structured plant record as the German edition. Plant photos appear only when an individually approved public image is available. Botanical naming helps distinguish common names.
