5 Herbs That Thrive in Low Sunspots
THROW SOME SHADE AT YOUR PLANTS 5 HERBS THAT THRIVE IN LOW SUNSPOTS
An herb garden is a wonderful addition to any home. They attract honey bees, offer pleasant, mild aromas, and are ideal for the home cook. But there’s often one issue homeowners and apartment dwellers face: too much shade. However, several varieties of herb thrive in partial (2–4 hours of sun) or full shade (less than two hours).
Cilantro: Partial shade — grows fast and thrives in cooler temperatures.
Chives: Partial shade — it won’t flower as much in shade, but its culinary value isn’t affected.
Mint: Partial to full shade — grows fast and thrives in many conditions.
Oregano: Partial to full shade — like mint, it’s easy to grow and makes a great addition to many dishes.
Parsley: Partial shade — the Italian variety is a biennial herb and has a two-year growth cycle, but you don’t have to wait to harvest.
