Are you trying to root these herbs?

I have pinned many to the ground to root them: Lemon Verbena, Thyme, Lavander, Salvia... to name a few.

The only herbs that I, personally, know that can be planted deeper than they were grown are ones with stolens, ei: mints.

Thanks, and yes, I'm trying to root them, or in the least, be able to stabilize them without worrying about rot. Basil is top on my mind at the moment, but I still want to hear whatever anyone knows they can to add to the list. Also, it would be nice to hear some definite don't bury plants.

Don't "bury" plants/plant them deeper than their root crown unless you specifically know that the plant can take it - like tomatoes for example.

Never try to bury the branches of a Rosemary bush. For more plants take cuttings; those you can bury with all the leaves removed to the point where you bury them.
