Verde Valley Nursery
Herb Starts: Chives, Garlic Chives & Mint
Herb and vegetable starts
Fresh herb starts are in, including garlic chives and lush mint, plus cool-season vegetable starts on the same bench. Fall is one of the best times to start an herb garden in Arizona, and these grow well in pots near the kitchen door. Keep mint in its own container so it doesn't take over, and snip chives often to keep them producing. Ask our team which vegetable starts are in this week.
Sun: Full sun to part shade
Water: Moderate; mint likes more water than chives
Size: 4-inch pots
Best for: Kitchen gardens and patio pots
