Rosemary is a long-lived perennial herb prized for its intense aroma, savory flavor, and exceptional durability in the garden. This woody, cold-hardy variety can thrive for 15–20 years, producing slender, conifer-like leaves rich in oils that hold their fragrance long after drying. Its drought tolerance and ornamental form make it as attractive as it is useful in the kitchen.

We ship to the Continental U.S. and Alaska only. We cannot ship to Hawaii, overseas U.S. military bases, or U.S. territories.

Growing Information

Planting

  • Start seeds indoors several weeks before the last expected frost to allow time for slow germination.
  • Press seeds lightly into the soil surface, as they need light exposure to germinate.
  • Transplant seedlings outdoors once they are sturdy and nighttime temperatures remain above freezing.
  • Choose a planting site with full sun and loose, well-drained soil to support deep root development.
  • Space plants to allow their mature 24–36 inch height and spread, giving each plant ample airflow.
  • Water young plants consistently until established, then reduce frequency as their drought tolerance increases.

Maintenance

  • Rosemary forms a woody structure as it matures, typically reaching 24–36 inches tall with a similar spread.
  • Ensure soil drains well to prevent root rot, as rosemary dislikes consistently wet conditions.
  • Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and promote new growth.
  • Protect plants from extended freezes, especially in colder climates outside Zones 7–10.
  • Provide good air circulation to reduce humidity stress and keep foliage healthy.

Harvest & Storage

  • Harvest sprigs once plants are well established in their second year of growth.
  • Cut stems in the morning when essential oils are strongest for the most intense flavor.
  • Allow stems to dry in small bundles hung upside down in a warm, shaded, well-ventilated space.
  • Store fully dried leaves in airtight containers to preserve their long-lasting aroma.
  • Regular harvesting encourages bushier growth and improved production over time.
