Drought-tolerant herb seeds — Mediterranean herbs that love it dry

The classic Mediterranean herbs actively thrive on hot, dry, poor ground — tough, aromatic plants that need little water once established and are perfect for sunny borders, gravel and pots. Browse them within our herb seed range. New to herbs? Our herb growing guide covers the basics.

Most are sown in spring — the herb calendar shows when.

Herbs that thrive on neglect

Evergreen thyme, rosemary, sage, oregano and lavender all shrug off drought, give flavour and scent year-round, and flower for bees. They're the backbone of a low-water herb garden and sit among our aromatic herbs.

Growing drought-tolerant herbs

Give them full sun and sharp, free-draining soil — they hate winter wet far more than dry summers. Water young plants until established, then leave them be, and trim after flowering to keep them bushy.

Building a herb garden? Here's where to look next.

Popular herb categories: Thyme · Rosemary · Lavender · Aromatic Herbs · All Herb Seeds

Should I trim them?
A light trim after flowering keeps them bushy and stops them going woody.
