How would you recommend to grow Rosemary?

Can I just pot it and water it because if not it may die

How would you recommend to grow Rosemary?
If you are in a warm state like California, Texas and of the southern states it will be happier in the ground. It likes moist to slightly dryer soil and sunny, hot days but it freezes completely in the Midwest and NE states over winter.





So depending where you live just plant in a large pot with old clay pots chunks or rocks in the bottom and potting soil or in the ground.
Reply:They like sun, well drained soil, and occasional watering. An easy plant in pot or ground.
Reply:yeah you can pot grow rosemary, it just doesnt like freezing, I lost a big plant this past winter because it froze,
Reply:My favorite herb (with garlic) Yes pot it. But put it in a big pot. Add lava rocks in the bottom of the pot for good drainage. Make sure you water it every 2-3 days. It's finicky. Not enough water- it will die, too much it'll drown. If you're in a warm climate, it'll do well. In a cold climate, it will not survive below 20 degrees, which sucks because I'm in IL and my rosemary bush is beautiful. I have mine in a large wooden barrel type of pot. Good luck.
Reply:Man, my rosemary bush is huge.


Potted it, water it every other day, of course this is outside in a desert climate, but it has grown huge!!
Reply:Use a moderate size pot, not huge... Use good potting soil and water it in with Miracle Grow for a good start. Set in full sun. Water frequently generally is easy to grow and care for.. Delicious as fresh herb.
