Herb Seeds – From Seed to Sensation

At ChilliStuffs, we’ve always believed that growing is more than a hobby—it’s a way of life. And now, we’re expanding that legacy to include the herbs that bring depth, aroma, and soul to every garden and kitchen. Whether you’re planting for flavour, fragrance, or folklore, our herb seeds collection is curated to help you grow with confidence, clarity, and joy.

This isn’t just about basil and parsley. It’s about the moment you crush a rosemary sprig between your fingers and release its piney perfume. It’s about the coriander herb seeds that germinates into a lush cilantro canopy, ready to brighten your salsa or soothe your soil. It’s about sage leaves drying on a windowsill, waiting to be bundled into a braai rub or brewed into a calming tea.

We’ve selected each herb seeds variety for its purity, performance, and sensory impact—grown out, visually verified, and documented with care. From heirloom classics to regionally adapted staples, these herbs are ready to thrive in South African soil and beyond.

Why Herbs?

Because they’re the quiet heroes of the garden. They attract pollinators, deter pests, and elevate every dish they touch. They’re medicinal, culinary, and ecological. And they deserve the same reverence we give our chillies.

Whether you’re planting a full herb spiral or tucking a few sprigs into your veggie beds, these herb seeds offer more than just greenery—they offer legacy.

What You’ll Find Here

• Coriander (Cilantro) – Dual-purpose brilliance. Sow for seed or leaf, and enjoy the citrusy lift of fresh cilantro or the earthy depth of dried coriander.

• Parsley  – A foundational herb with vibrant green foliage and a clean, grassy flavour. Ideal for companion planting and culinary use.

• Basil  – Sweet, spicy, and aromatic. Basil thrives in warm weather and brings pollinators flocking.

• Oregano – Robust and peppery, with small oval leaves and a creeping habit. Perfect for Mediterranean beds and braai blends.

• Sage – Silvery, soft, and slightly bitter. A classic for stuffing, teas, and spiritual cleansing.
