For me, herbs are one of the most rewarding things to grow. You plant them and can start using them almost immediately. This is good news for impatient me. Plus, they grow pretty quickly and often produce more than you can manage to eat.
So besides using them in salads, smoothies, lemonades (more on this soon), and seasonal dishes of all sorts, I’m happy to report they make lovely and long-lasting additions to cut flowers.
After two years of filling our backyard with flowering plants, I finally have plenty for cutting. Inspired by my overflowing oregano and mint beds when I was filling my mason jars with cut flowers, I decided to toss in some herbs. I fell in love with the intense greenness and delicate, airy shapes they brought to the party.
Some herbs to try with flowers:
Oregano
Basil
Purple basil
Mint
Agastache (also known as hyssop)
Thyme
Rosemary

What a lovely bouquet you’ve made! Adding herbs is a great way to add some texture and fragrance to the arrangement. Lavender would also be another pretty herb to try!
Yes funflowerfacts, lavender would be lovely! If mine would only grow some good flowers… I’m thinking I may need try again next year in a new spot in my yard. Thanks for your feedback!
If you are having difficulties in your garden bed, perhaps you can try container gardening…
I love this blog! Absolutely beautiful and inspiring!! Xo
Thanks, Jen! Glad you stopped by. 🙂

Love this idea, btw…. I am so jealous of anyone with an herb garden! Mint looks beautiful…I bet it smells good in a bouquet too!
Thanks, Jen! Yes, the smell is definitely a bonus! Basil in bouquets is amazing for that too!
