Sow seeds on the surface of a well-draining seed-starting mix and press them gently into the soil; do not cover, as light aids germination. Keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged, and maintain a warm temperature around 70°F (21°C). Germination can be slow and uneven, so patience is required. Once seedlings have several sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRosemary thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Water established plants deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. In colder climates, grow rosemary in containers that can be moved indoors for winter. Prune lightly to maintain shape and encourage bushy growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Rosemary seeds (Salvia rosmarinus).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67776129925430,"sku":"FOLIA-241","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6561870329_nevl.jpg?v=1792468022","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/25-rosemary-seeds-salvia-rosmarinus-aromatic-herb-for-culinary-ornamental-gardens","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
