A(n) herb is a plant that is valued for flavor, scent, or other qualities. Herbs are used in cooking, as medicines, and for spiritual purposes.

In American English "herb" is normally pronounced /ˈɝːb/, with the initial "h" silent, but in British English the "h" is sounded: /ˈhɜːb/ (see American and British English pronunciation differences).

Uses

Herbs have a variety of uses including culinary, medicinal, or in some cases even spiritual usage. General usage differs between culinary herbs and medicinal herbs. In medicinal or spiritual use any of the parts of the plant might be considered "herbs", including leaves, roots, flowers, seeds, resin, root bark, inner bark (cambium), berries and sometimes the pericarp or other portions of the plant.

Should Herbs be grown in a pot or directly in the soil?
Q. Should Herbs be grown in a pot or directly in the soil? or is it different for different herbs?
Asked by Marlon - Sun Jun 29 12:44:08 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It is different for different herbs. Any kind of mint you want to make sure you contain or it will overtake your garden in no time - it spreads like crazy! Larger perennials do good in large containers or in the ground, if you need to move them when its very cold containers work great. I prefer less containers and more plants in raised beds, to many containers can take on a very cluttered look if you are not careful. Raised beds, even just a foot, work great! They really save your back a great deal and are easy to amend, water, and provide great drainage. It also makes sense - when you have raised beds you do not walk on the planting area which can greatly compress it and cause problems.

What flowering plants and herbs do hummingbirds favor?
Q. I have a flowerbed under my hummingbird feeder. I would like to add some additonal flowers and herbs that hummingbirds like.

A. You will attract many hummingbirds if you create a small garden environment by your feeder. Use plants of varying sizes, texture, and bright color. For example, hummingbirds are attracted to Pentas, a small colorful annual (Zone 7 Maryland). In the mid-height range, use salvias, mint or sage. For your tallest plants, select Lavendar, Butterfly Weed and Bee Balm. I have a garden with many Lantana plantings, and it sometimes seems like a hummingbird "airport." Another thought, the colors of red hibiscus and zinnia plants really attract them to the garden. Use organics for pest control, and mist the garden for the Hummingbird's. Great idea to combine flowering plants and Herbs!
