Start Chives with divisions, because transplant failure is a waste of precious energy you might lack. Place the clumps 6 to 8 inches apart, as spacing prevents the eventual crowding that your neighbors will judge over the fence.
Watering is the single requirement, but it must be consistent, or the plant will notice your laziness and boo you. Get revenge by slicing it, however, leaving one inch of green for guaranteed regrowth. You’re not a monster.
7: Cilantro
Why even bother with transplanting Cilantro? Directly sow the seeds outside, since this sensitive herb views root disturbance as a career-ending affront.
Plant them a quarter inch deep in full sun or partial shade, but monitor the heat, as the plant bolts faster than a thief in Rome.
Quick tip: Sow a new small batch every few weeks, because succession planting secures supply long after this joke lands.
8: Lemon Balm
Lemon Balm is an aromatic conqueror that spreads before you even realize the full danger. Plant it immediately in a sturdy container or a raised bed, as containment remains the only defense.

Use a small transplant or rooted cutting, because starting Lemon Balm from seeds tests the patience even of saintly people. Grant it full sun to partial shade, but ensure the rich soil never dries out completely.
If you’d prefer something even lower-maintenance, these herbs grow surprisingly well in just water all year long.
