Biennial herb seeds — herbs that span two seasons

Biennial herbs build leaf in their first year and flower and seed in their second — a group that includes some real kitchen essentials. They sit within our herb seed range, alongside the annuals and perennials. New to herbs? Our herb growing guide covers the basics.

Biennial herbs reward the right timing — the calendar shows when to sow.

Parsley, caraway and more

The best-known biennial herb is parsley, grown for its leaf in year one; others like caraway and angelica are grown for seed or stems in their second year. They fit naturally among our culinary and aromatic herbs.

Growing biennial herbs from seed

Sow in spring or summer for leaf the same year and flowers or seed the next. Most prefer a sunny, fertile spot; keep them watered and pick regularly. Leave a plant to flower in its second year if you'd like to collect seed.
