Basil, I grow it every year.

Two cautions with your list...mint will take over and grow aggressively. Even if in a pot set on soil, the roots will take off. And cilantro is easy to grow but hard to keep it from bolting. I love cilantro but easier to buy it at the store.

Lemon verbena is easy to grow too. I bought one as few months ago and it's quite big now Also, it smells truly wonderful. I just love this herb.

I find chives and cilantro very easy to grow and basil as well. I don't grow mint but I have heard they grow quite aggressively so if you do plants it don't plant too much. I have never planted lemon verbena and I do imagine it smells lovely. I'll add it to my list for next year as I'd like to plant some different things to see how they do. As we moved to a new house it's my first year planting a garden there and so far it's doing quite well. The carrots, tomatoes and onion are coming along and the peas just broke ground. I also have peas growing in a railing pot on my patio, I'm anxious to see how those will do.

I find basil very easy to grow! I always have basil in my herb garden!
I keep my mint in large pots on the side of my garden so that it does not take over everything!!

Your list includes annual and perennial herbs, so don't get discouraged if some of them die off after a season.
