Overwintering Herbs

Overwintering Herb Plants

Overwintering herb plants means that you bring the plants indoors so they continue growing over winter and spring.  The key is to make sure the room is warm and sunny.  I overwinter my herb plants on a plant stand in a window facing toward the south.

Because of limited space, I like to do this for annual, hybrids and tender perennial herb plants that I can’t grow easily from seed.  For instance, I brought in my mushroom herb plant indoors because it is hard to find locally in late spring.  Other good candidates for overwintering are the olive herb and African blue basil.    I actually just started overwintering some herb plants last year during Covid because it was so hard to find these herbs.
