When planting herbs together, it is important to consider their growing conditions, such as soil moisture, type, and pH, as well as temperature and light levels. Here are some herbs that can be planted together:

• Basil, Tarragon, and Oregano: These Mediterranean herbs tend to pair well due to similar growing requirements, and planting oregano alongside basil and tarragon may help prevent pests. Basil and tarragon are especially vulnerable to aphids, which oregano’s peppery potency deters.

• Lemon Verbena, Dill, and Cilantro: These three herbs pair relatively well together.

• Lavender, Rosemary, and Thyme: These herbs can be planted together due to requiring nearly identical growing conditions, such as ample sunlight and weekly watering. Rosemary and thyme are also bug and worm repellents and will protect your other herbs from pest infestations.

• Parsley, Sage, and Chives: These herbs can be planted together.

• Sage, Thyme, Rosemary, and Oregano: These herbs can be planted together in a container garden.

It is also important to choose plants with common irrigation needs when mixing herbs in a pot, and to select only those herbs that are drought tolerant if you are forgetful and likely to miss a watering here and there.
