Many herbs are very ornamental, in addition to being useful for culinary or medicinal purposes. Some herbs are fairly cold tolerant and look fantastic in mixed Fall planters with mums, pansies and ornamental cabbage or kale.
Pictured here are: Pineapple Mint (Mentha suaveolens 'Variegata'), Feverfew (Chrysanthemum parthenium), English Thyme (Thymus vulgaris), Golden Sage (Salvia officinalis 'Aurea'), Italian Parsley (Petroselinum crispum neapolitanum), Tri-colored Sage (Salvia officinalis). These are some of the hardier herbs we sell, which are very complementary in Fall gardens. Also pictured is a perennial with a dark burgundy leaf, Heuchera 'Palace Purple' and a Hardy Chrysanthemum.
Mixing Herbs with annuals, mums and perennials in containers or garden beds is a creative way to diversify your garden space and mixing foliage with flowering plants also reduces maintenance (i.e. deadheading)!!
