Identification

Many herbs have a strong fragrance that when planted together will create an idyllic experience. Choose herbs like oregano, lavender and thyme for their delicious aromas as well as their usefulness in the house.

Though not many herbs produce showy flowers, many varieties can still be visually stimulating. Lavender is tall and produces purple blooms while basil plants have white blooms. For something showier, valerian plants have red flowers while chicory blooms in blue.
