Cotswolds Garden - FAQs
Frequently asked gardening related questions
In the UK, many hardy herbs like rosemary, thyme, and sage can stay outside all winter, especially in southern regions. Protect them from harsh frosts with mulch or horticultural fleece. Container herbs should be moved to a sheltered location like a cold frame or unheated greenhouse. Tender herbs like basil won't survive frost, so they should be grown indoors or treated as annuals. Reduce watering during winter as herbs enter dormancy, and avoid feeding until spring returns.
