Growing Directions

• Sunlight: Grow Rosemary in full sun with at least 6–8 hours of direct light each day.
• Soil: Use light, well-drained soil. Rosemary performs best when its roots are not left in consistently wet conditions.
• Starting Seeds: Sow seeds indoors or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Keep the seed-starting medium lightly moist while seeds establish.
• Spacing: Space plants approximately 12–18 inches apart to encourage airflow and allow room for mature growth.
• Watering: Water moderately and allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid overwatering.
• Containers: Choose a container with drainage holes and use a well-drained potting mix. Containers make it easier to protect plants in colder climates.
• Harvesting: Snip sprigs as needed once plants are established. Harvesting lightly and regularly encourages a full, productive plant.
• Winter Care: In cold regions, move container-grown Rosemary to a bright, protected location before hard freezes.
