Hello,
I'm looking to start a culinary herb garden and was wondering which herbs are only propagated by cuttings? So far, I've read that mint and tarragon fall under this category. Any others?
Thanks!

Herb Cuttings?
Rosemary, Sage
Sage can be grown from seed but cuttings are best
I've rooted cuttings from scented geraniums.
all the oregano's, thyme's, and sweet marjoram
I've grown rosemary and common thyme from seed.I do pineapple sage from cuttings.Some basil can only be grown from cuttings. Chime in hear Vort.Bay Laurel from cuttings(bay leaf).Edge
I'm wondering why sage is better from cuttings --do you mean easier to propagate that way?
I just germinated some from seed -- Salvia officinalis, the common garden gray sage for cooking -- and lol felt so proud! hahaha
Noob seedster here though been gardening otherwise for ages.....
kyla
That's how I got sage one time. Only the seeds were supposed to be something else. It took me a long time to ID what I had. I knew it wasn't what I was supposed to have.
LOL! Well, I did know this time what I was sowing, unless the package was mislabeled, but it was from a commercial outfit so I kinda doubt it was.
Sorry,
I was thinking of the hybrid sages like Newe Ya'ar
OK, that explains it, thanks!
