Planting Instructions:
- For a head start, plant the seeds or cuttings indoors 8 to 10 weeks before the last spring frost.
- Plant the seeds/cuttings in well-drained soil. For best growth, the soil should be around 70ºF.
- Be sure to give your plants enough room to grow. Rosemary grows to about 4 feet tall and spreads about 4 feet as well.
- In the garden, plant near beans, cabbage, carrots, and sage.
- Species and varieties: Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) is a woody, perennial herb with fragrant, evergreen, needle-like leaves. There are several varieties of rosemary, including 'Arp', 'Tuscan Blue', and 'Prostratus'. Each variety may have slightly different growth habits and uses.
- Hybrid or heirloom: Rosemary seeds are typically heirloom, meaning they are open-pollinated and have been passed down through generations without genetic modification. However, some hybrid varieties may exist, bred for specific traits such as increased hardiness or unique growth habits.
- Pruning and training: Regular pruning helps maintain the shape and encourages bushier growth. Prune rosemary in the spring and summer, cutting back about one-third of the plant. Avoid cutting into the woody stems, as this can damage the plant.
- Fertilization needs: Rosemary does not require heavy fertilization. A light application of a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in the spring is usually sufficient. Over-fertilizing can lead to excessive growth and reduced flavor. Organic compost or well-rotted manure can also be used to enrich the soil.
- Hardiness zones: Rosemary is suitable for USDA hardiness zones 8-10. In these zones, it can be grown as a perennial. In colder climates, it can be grown as an annual or brought indoors during the winter.
- Climate requirements: Rosemary prefers a Mediterranean climate with well-drained soil and full sun. It thrives in warm, dry conditions and can tolerate drought once established. It does not do well in overly wet or humid environments.
