The best time to plant herbs outdoors in the UK is after the last frost - typically from late April to early May. Perennials like sage and thyme are best planted in spring or early autumn to allow roots to establish. Annuals such as basil and coriander can be started indoors in March or April and transplanted when temperatures warm up. In milder parts of the UK, some herbs can be planted a bit earlier. Using cloches or cold frames can extend the planting window and protect tender plants during chilly nights.
