Press seeds lightly into the surface and keep them moist and warm (around 70°F) until germination, which can be slow and uneven. Once seedlings have several sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions after the danger of frost has passed. Choose a sunny location with excellent drainage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater young plants regularly until established, then reduce watering as rosemary is drought-tolerant. Prune lightly to maintain shape and encourage bushy growth. In colder climates, grow rosemary in containers so it can be moved indoors for winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e100 Rosemary seeds (Salvia rosmarinus).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824754229558,"sku":"FOLIA2-1171","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6577266039_nlla.jpg?v=1793004475","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/100-rosemary-seeds-salvia-rosmarinus-aromatic-herb-for-culinary-and-ornamental-gardens","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
