How to Grow
Rosemary seeds can be difficult to germinate, so it's important to start with fresh seeds to increase your chances of success. Prepare the soil: Rosemary prefers well-draining soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. You can improve soil drainage by adding perlite or sand to your soil mix. Sow the seeds in a seed tray filled with your prepared soil mix. Cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil and water gently. Rosemary seeds need plenty of light to germinate. Place the seed tray in a sunny location or under a grow light. Maintain moisture: Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Water the seeds gently and avoid overwatering. Transplant the seedlings: Once the seedlings have grown to about 2 inches tall, they can be transplanted into individual pots or into your garden. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil. Care for your rosemary plants: Rosemary plants are relatively low-maintenance. Water them when the soil is dry to the touch and prune them regularly to encourage bushy growth.
