Growing Herbs In Garden Pots. Growing herbs in pots shady pot Where direct sunshine is limited choose soft leafy herbs such as chocolate peppermint parsley and lemon balm that can be scorched by harsh light. Feed container herbs regularly.
Pots are easy to move around the garden to create attractive edible displays or you can group them close to the house for easy access. Choose containers which give herbs a deep root run where they can be left undisturbed. Potted herbs need to be fertilized more than in-ground ones.
Mix the perlite and potting mix and add to the pot.
Containers can be as conventional or quirky as you dare. Water well and place in a light sunny spot. My personal choice of growing a herb garden in pots includes herbs cilantro basil oregano and mint.
