Growing & Sowing Tips
📅 SowingPlant seedlings in spring or propagate from cuttings (the most reliable method); seed germination is low and slow, and named varieties don't come true from seed.
🌱 DepthBury the seedling roots 5-8 cm deep
📏 Spacing60-90 cm
🌞 SunFull sun
💧 WateringLow; more often in pots, infrequent watering is enough in open ground
🧺 HarvestCut fresh sprig tips throughout summer; harvesting before flowering gives the strongest aroma
🪴 SoilFree-draining, dry to moderately moist, low to moderate nutrients; thrives in chalky soils
⭐ DifficultyEasy
🗓️ SeasonSpring
📅 Calendar is for the Northern Hemisphere; in the Southern Hemisphere shift sowing times by ~6 months.
💡 Key tip: Rosemary suffers from strong wind and excess moisture; in coastal areas plant it in a spot sheltered from the wind.
🤝 Companion logic: It forms a harmonious aromatic block with sage, thyme, lavender and marigold; it repels pest insects (cabbage moth, Mexican bean beetle) from beans and brassicas. Keep it away from cucumber and dill: these need plenty of water and high nitrogen, which clashes with rosemary's need for dry, well-drained soil (excess moisture risks root rot/mould).
