Lavender

Lemon balm
This herb has not stolen its name. The plant smells wonderfully of lemon. It is a hardy plant that, once planted, will last for years.
Dill
Dill has a very distinct flavor and is ideal for pimping a salmon into gravad lax. However, it is not such an easy plant to grow, so provide well-draining soil and a sunny spot with shelter from the wind.
Sage

Coriander
You have supporters and opponents of coriander; however it is a widely used spice that is popular in a variety of cuisines. (couscous, chili con carne,…) It is also an easy to grow plant that likes a warm and sunny spot.
Oregano
