Planting & Care

Start rosemary seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, and maintain a temperature around 65-70°F. Germination can be slow and uneven, taking 2-4 weeks. Once seedlings have several sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots or into the garden after the danger of frost has passed.

Rosemary prefers a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a deep root system, but avoid overwatering. Once established, rosemary is drought-tolerant. Prune plants regularly to encourage bushy growth and harvest sprigs as needed. In colder zones, grow rosemary in containers and bring indoors for winter.
