Sage
Culinary sage is a strong plant that is easy to propagate from cuttings in soil. Keep in a partially shaded area for a couple of weeks and you should see signs of new root growth.
When transplanting into the garden, move them away from the water-loving herbs like basil, dill and cilantro. They don’t like overly moist soil and grow better when conditions are slightly dry.

Mint
In ideal conditions, there may not be any need to propagate mint as it spreads incredibly quickly. In fact, it’s advisable in some areas to grow it in pots to keep it contained.
But it does grow really well from cuttings in water if you want to go that route. There are many new varieties coming out often, so a selection planted in the containers or in the garden with deep borders is wonderful to experiment with in the kitchen.

Thyme
Thyme is a wonderful herb to use in the kitchen and a must for any herb garden. Smaller in stature, they have woody stems and need to be propagated in soil to get the best results.
Thyme loves the heat and does well in full sun to make the flavor of the leaves stronger. Propagating new plants to replace any spent plants from age or excessive harvesting will keep the best plants in play.
