Plants to pair with it
Arrange in separate pots so light, water and space can be managed for each plant.
Basil
Fresh leafy growth adds a culinary accent in good sunlight; check its moisture separately from woody herbs.

Rosemary
Fine aromatic foliage gives a lower sunny accent; its pot needs freer drainage and longer drying intervals.

Thyme
Low aromatic foliage works at a sunny edge; keep its drier root mix in a separate container.

Frequently asked questions
Dill
Will it stay as a low leafy clump indefinitely?
No. Dill is an annual and eventually makes tall flowering umbels. Renew plants for a steady leaf harvest.
Should I disturb its roots repeatedly to keep it small?
Avoid unnecessary disturbance. Choose a suitable pot early and manage harvesting instead of repeatedly uprooting it.
Can it live on a dark kitchen counter?
Culinary use does not make a herb shade-loving. Grow it where its light needs are met and bring cut leaves indoors.
Can I cut all the leaves for one meal?
Leave enough healthy foliage and growing points. A small nursery plant needs time to replace what is harvested.
