Planting & Care

Rosemary seeds can be started indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost. Sow seeds shallowly, about 1/8 inch deep, in a well-draining seed-starting mix. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, and maintain a temperature of around 70°F (21°C) for optimal germination, which can take 2-4 weeks. Once seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves, transplant them into larger pots or directly into the garden after the danger of frost has passed.

Rosemary thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a deep root system, but reduce watering once established, as rosemary is drought-tolerant. Prune lightly to maintain shape and encourage bushy growth. In colder climates, grow rosemary in containers and bring indoors for the winter.
