Which herbs are best for growing indoors?
Just about any herb has the potential to be grown indoors. There are, however, a few species that do better with indoor growing conditions. These herbs tolerate the lower light levels, low humidity, and cooler temperatures indoors, making them the best herbs to start with when growing herbs inside your home. Parsley, mint, chives, basil, oregano, cilantro and thyme are all great candidates to grow indoors. While still relatively easy to grow inside, rosemary, sage, lemon balm, marjoram, chervil and bay laurel are good species to try next.
