scallions.
They seem to out grow and live most herbs I've tried planting and keeping indoors like chives, basal and such, they do better outside for me for some reason.

Mint, if you plant it in a garden it will just spread and become a pest to clear out. I'd say they're very pot-worthy, I have catnip growing in my windowsill right now.

Rosemary is alright for pots, as is thyme, cumin, and dill ^_^

I grow rosemary in 3 gallon nursery pots pots outdoors. I had one 5 years old until a neighbor stole it.
I also grow three kinds of mint in pots. They come back from year to year. But they do escape. So dig up what you don't want and gift it to to friends. Iced tea with mint is great. I'm drinking one now smile
Basil grows well in a pot outdoors. But it grows better in the ground. The cold kills them.
Stevia grew HUGE in a 3 gallon nursery pot. They're sensitive to cold so they have to come inside for the winter.
Every year I buy thyme. Every winter it dies. Any hints to get it to grow from year to year would be appreciated.

I'm drinking one now smile I agree, I made some with raw wildflower honey and chocolate mint. It's a great mild cooling drink.

That drink DOES sound very refreshing.
Chocolate mint -- is there actually a chocolate taste or does that refer to the brownish color on the stem?

 Greek oregano, sweet basil and orange mint grow very well in a container in my experience. The basil blooms in the summer with pretty little white flowers that smell so good : )

Does anybody know which herbs do best indoors? I am working on an outside garden but I would love to keep some inside, safe from cats and other pests.

My basil did ok last year growing for a while outside and then being brought inside.
I had lots of direct sun then though, and I have heard the flavor is lacking when it does not get direct sun, so I suppose it would only work if you have fortunately placed windows!
Chives need very little space, so while I didn't seem able to grow healthy ones I am sure they should do well.
Also, I have heard Garlic can be grown in pots! (http://www.doityourself.com/stry/growing-garlic-indoors--6-tips) But it is not something you can trim and use while you grow it, unlike the others.

I found out accidentally that catnip does beautifully indoors, because it prefers partial shade. I put it in the middle of all my sun-loving herbs, and it was wilted within two days! Luckily I noticed, read the tag, and moved it into the shade before it suffered any permanent damage.
A nice herbal catnip tea with some mint and maybe stevia is extremely relaxing, it's a mild sedative. I've heard from a friend that it can be smoked too with good results.
