Press seeds lightly into the surface and keep them moist but not waterlogged; a humidity dome can help maintain moisture. Germination can be slow and uneven, so be patient. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose a sunny location with excellent drainage. Water young plants regularly until established, then reduce watering as rosemary is drought-tolerant. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushy growth. In cold climates, grow rosemary in containers and bring indoors for winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e50 Rosemary seeds (Salvia rosmarinus).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824711794998,"sku":"FOLIA2-1059","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6530305712_s45y.jpg?v=1793004252","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/50-rosemary-seeds-salvia-rosmarinus-aromatic-herb-for-culinary-and-ornamental-gardens","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
