North Carolina's diverse climate supports a variety of herbs, including basil, rosemary, and mint, each thriving under specific conditions. Basil loves full sun and moist, well-drained soil during warm summers, rosemary is a drought-tolerant perennial ideal for coastal and Piedmont regions, and mint grows vigorously but needs containment to manage its spread. By providing proper sunlight, watering, and soil care, gardeners can enjoy a productive herb garden that enhances both outdoor spaces and kitchen creations.
