On the flip side, you can use tall herbs to shade low-growing ones if needed.
Research how tall (or small) each herb will be when grown, and if it spreads, before you plant it in your garden. This will prevent overcrowding or having big gaps in your garden beds. It is also important to think ahead to how they’ll grow next to one another. For instance, you wouldn’t want to sandwich spilanthes ( Acmella oleracea) in between valerian ( Valerianella officinalis) and motherwort ( Leonurus cardiaca) because the spilanthes would not get enough sun, as the other two herbs mentioned grow much taller and would cast too much shade.
