At Earthborn, we believe anyone can grow their own medicine — whether you have a big backyard, a tiny balcony, or just a sunny windowsill. The beautiful truth is that many powerful medicinal and culinary herbs absolutely thrive in containers.
Here are some of the easiest and most rewarding container herbs to start with:
✨ Basil – Loves warmth and sun; perfect for teas, pesto, and boosting immunity.
✨ Dill – Light, feathery, and fantastic for digestion.
✨ Cilantro – A detoxifying hero that enjoys cooler weather.
✨ Sage – Known for its cleansing and anti-inflammatory qualities.
✨ Rosemary – A hardy, uplifting herb that supports memory and circulation.
✨ Thyme – One of the best herbs for coughs, colds, and throat infections.
✨ Chamomile – Gentle, calming, and perfect for evening tea.
✨ Parsley – Rich in vitamins, supports kidneys and detox pathways.
✨ Oregano – A natural antibiotic packed with antioxidants.
✨ Ginger – Grow your own anti-nausea and anti-inflammatory superstar.
✨ Turmeric – A powerful anti-inflammatory root for long-term health.
✨ Calendula – The “skin healer” — beautiful, soothing, and easy to grow.
🪴 Choosing the Right Container Size
To keep your herbs happy, give each one a container that matches its root needs. A general rule: small herbs = 15–20 cm pots, medium herbs = 25–30 cm pots, root herbs = 30–40 cm deep containers.
Here’s a quick breakdown:
- Basil, Dill, Cilantro, Parsley, Chamomile, Oregano, Thyme → 15–20 cm pots
(These herbs have smaller root systems and do well in compact containers.) - Sage, Rosemary, Calendula → 25–30 cm pots
(They’re bushier plants that need extra room to spread.) - Ginger & Turmeric → 30–40 cm deep containers
(These roots expand underground, so depth is more important than width.)
Giving each herb the space it needs ensures better flavour, healthier growth, and a longer harvest season.
