live herbs

Mature sizes range from about 16 inches for lavender up to about 24 inches for the mint varieties.

Store dried herbs in airtight containers in a cool, dark place or refrigerate to preserve their aroma. They are well suited to long-simmering dishes such as soups, stews, risottos and marinades.

Listings show different planting cycles: some mint varieties are described as annuals, while lavender is listed as a perennial.

Live potted herbs perform best in sun to part shade (some entries note moderate to direct sunlight). Product details list planting depth and spacing—for example, mint: planting depth 4 inches, spacing 18 inches; lavender: planting depth 1 foot, spacing 2 feet—plus hardiness and light recommendations.

They are offered as whole leaves (listed as "Form: Whole"), described as aromatic, ready-to-use pantry herbs for cooking.

Listed net weights include 1 ounce, 8 ounces and 64 ounces (also shown in titles as 0.0625 lb, 0.5 lb and 4 lb).
