Perennial Herb
We all like buildings and houses that have nice, green gardens with flowers and trees. Vegetation always gives a natural touch to human areas. That’s the reason why most hotels and resorts try to have them either inside them or in their surroundings; they can be very soothing to visitors.
People also try to get a small garden in their houses. Sometimes it’s in the front of the house, sometimes in the backyard and sometimes in the balcony. Such gardens are typically flower beds with the intention of making the home look prettier. Nevertheless, some people with experience in gardens also use them to grow plants that are more useful. They use them to grow perennial herbs.
A perennial herb is a long living plant that is used for one or more specific purpose. This purpose can be religious, medicinal, aromatic, but most commonly, it’s culinary. The term perennial means that it lives for at least two years, although people use the term more commonly to refer to any plant that lives for a long time.
Growing perennial herbs in your garden is a good inexpensive source of species. If you like cooking and gardening, then you’d be having fun while supplying yourself of things you need for your cooking.
Just a word of caution. Perennial herbs are grown mostly in temperate areas. If you live in a place where winter is harsh, you probably won’t be able to grow them unless you have a greenhouse. With that being said, here are a few perennial herbs that are common and easy to grow.
Mints. These perennial herbs have several advantages. First of all, they have purple flowers, which makes them good for decorations. They also have a fresh, strong odor, which can be used to make the house smell good, or as garnish. If used well, they can accompany lamb, chocolate, fish sauces, and others.
Oregano. If you like Spanish or Italian cooking, you must know this perennial herb, which is used in several of their dishes. It is also often dehydrated so that the leaves can be crumbled and stored.
Tarragon. This perennial herb has a sweet, licorice aroma to it. It’s commonly used in French cooking, but you can also try to add it to other dishes if you think the taste would go well. It’s also used for flavoring vinegar, which gives it a distinctive taste.
Rosemary. This perennial herb gives blue flowers, which means it’ll make your garden pretty while at the same time giving you leaves that have a strong spicy aroma and flavor. The leaves are used mostly with chicken and other meat dishes.
