Winter Herbs You Can Grow Indoors

During the winter, you might think it is hard to find fresh herbs and produce due to the 
harsh, cold temperatures, but that isn’t true! Many people continue growing herbs right 
at home, but choose to grow them indoors instead. Here are some different winter herbs 
you can grow indoors and have available all winter long.

Mint

As you know, mint is one of the most popular herbs to use during the winter season. 
What you might not know, is that it is easy to grow and can be grown indoors! This is 
wonderful if you either don’t have much room outside on a patio to grow the herb, or it is 
the winter and you don’t want to spend much time gardening outdoors. While there are 
many varieties of mint that grow well indoors, peppermint and spearmint tend to be the 
best. Peppermint is usually better for indoor growing. You can start it with seeds in a pot 
that has soil, which is much better than starting from leaf cuttings. You can also get a 
plant already grown and keep it in your home where it is closest to a window with direct 
sunlight.

Rosemary

The next herb you can grow inside your home that is perfect for winter is rosemary. This 
is another popular herb to use during this time of year, and is one that is always easy to 
find. Rosemary can drown with too much water, so be careful you are only watering it 
when it looks to be too dry. This is also better to start growing from seed unless you are 
getting a plant already started to place in your window sill. 

Parsley

So many traditional and classic herbs are not only available in the winter, but can be 
grown at home indoors. They provide a way to have fresh herbs available at all times, 
plus make your home smell amazing. Another herb you can grow indoors is parsley. 
This is also super easy to grow, even for people who are not accustomed to growing 
their own herbs. Parsley does grow a little slower, so keep that in mind when choosing 
when you want to start it and when you plan to harvest the herb leaves.

Oregano

Who doesn’t love some oregano? This is the ultimate herb for Italian and Southwestern 
dishes, along with any hearty meal you intend to make. You can use fresh oregano for 
everything from pasta sauce and lasagna, to adding more flavor to your soup or chili. It 
can also grow indoors, but you do need to make sure you get at least 6-8 hours of 
sunlight per day.
