Herb-by-Herb Guide

Wild Rocket (Diplotaxis tenuifolia)

  • Growth: This mustard-family green is one of the fastest-growing herbs. Horticult+1

  • Appearance: Aromatic leaves that emit a peppery punch when crushed; bright yellow flowers with four petals. Horticult

  • Growing Conditions: Best in partial shade, with well-drained but moist soil. Water ~3× per week. Horticult

  • Sowing & Care:

    • Sow directly in pots or grow-bags at least 6 in deep. Horticult

    • Germination: 1–2 weeks. Horticult

    • Bloom in ~6–7 weeks; remove flower stalks if you want to keep harvesting leaves, or leave them if you want edible flowers + seed pods. Horticult

  • Harvesting: Pick young leaves regularly to encourage continuous growth. Horticult

Oregano (Origanum vulgare)

  • Background: A classic Mediterranean herb deeply rooted in Italian cuisine. Horticult’s version is aromatic, with a taste profile ranging from spicy to sweet. Horticult

  • Growing Conditions:

  • Sowing:

    • Sow seeds in seed-starting mix or directly into containers ≥ 6 in deep. Horticult

    • Germination: ~1–2 weeks. Horticult

  • Care:

    • Thin or space plants ~8–10 inches apart for healthy growth. Horticult

    • Handle the very fine (dust-like) seeds carefully while sowing. Horticult

  • Harvesting & Use:

    • Leaves can be used fresh, but oregano is stronger when dried. Horticult

    • Harvest regularly; trimming also encourages bushier growth.

Basil Classic Italian (Ocimum basilicum)

  • Characteristics: Belonging to the mint family, this basil variety is tender, aromatic, and has a sweet yet pungent scent. Horticult

  • Growing Conditions:

  • Sowing & Germination:

    • Sow into pots, grow-bags, or planters with ~6 in depth. Horticult

    • Germination time: 7–10 days. Horticult

  • Maintenance:

    • Harvesting tip: When a branch has ~6–8 leaves, remove all but the first pair to encourage new growth. Horticult

    • If leaves wilt, they usually recover with good watering + some sun. Horticult

    • Yellowing lower leaves often indicate stress — reduce watering. Horticult

  • Growth Duration: Ready for harvest in ~50–60 days. Horticult

  • Pests: Watch out for aphids and slugs. Horticult

Broad-Leaved Sage (Salvia officinalis)

  • Aroma & Use: Highly aromatic with a camphor-like scent; the broad leaves (fresh or dried) are ideal for stews, sauces, soups, dressings, and even squash. Horticult

  • Growing Conditions:

    • Placement: Indoor or outdoor. Horticult

    • Light: Partial shade is acceptable, though loamy, well-drained soil is crucial. Horticult

    • Watering: Twice a week. Horticult

  • Sowing & Germination:

    • Sow in pots or grow-bags of at least 6 in depth. Horticult

    • Germination: 10–21 days. Horticult

    • Seed spacing: 12–15 inches between plants. Horticult

  • Maintenance & Harvest:

    • Harvest time: ~75 days after sowing. Horticult

    • Thin seedlings to 12–15 inches spacing once they reach 1–2 inches tall. Horticult

    • For storage: leaves can be sealed in wide-mouthed jars or bottles. Horticult

  • Pests & Disease: Watch out for aphids, whiteflies, and spittlebugs. Horticult

Tips for a Successful Herb Garden

  1. Use the Right Containers: Pick pots or grow-bags that are at least 6 in deep to allow good root growth.

  2. Soil Mix: Use a mix that drains well but retains some moisture — especially for rocket and basil.

  3. Water Smartly:

  4. Sun Exposure: Aim for partial shade — helps prevent scorching and supports healthy leaf growth for all four.

  5. Harvest Regularly: Especially for rocket and basil, regular harvesting encourages fresh foliage.

  6. Companion Planting: These herbs can work well together; for example, basil and oregano complement each other in both growth and culinary use.

Conclusion

Horticult’s Indam hybrid herb seeds let you bring the heart of a culinary garden to your home — whether on a sunny balcony, in grow-bags, or in traditional soil beds. With minimal effort and the right care, you'll be rewarded with fresh rocket leaves, fragrant oregano, sweet basil, and aromatic sage.
