How do you grow Rosemary?

Rosemary is fairly tolerant of soil and site conditions, although it prefers a light soil - sandy soils are fine. A neutral to slightly limey soil are ideal - the limey soils will produce smaller plants with the leaves being more fragrant. A sunny and sheltered position is best - Rosemary will stand most frosts but try to avoid planting in low-lying areas of the garden.





The herb Rosemary is ideally suited to container culture and will grow happily in potting compost. Attention throughout the year is minimal. Water if the compost is drying out, trim to shape in September if needed, and feed with liquid plant food monthly throughout the growing season. Container grown plants are more likely to affected by severe frosts, so move the containers close to the house walls in winter.

Reply:Well, I have good luck with it that I get at Wal-Mart during the Christmas season.... Just water and let it grow....
Reply:it grows in any climate that doesnt have snow in the winter.....once it starts it grows like crazy
Reply:I put a 29 cent seedling in my backyard six years ago, now have a bush the size of a volkswagon. I can't grow anything else, but that literally grows like a weed for me. The dogs have dug out around it, but the plant does not seem to notice. It gets sun in mid day only as it is in the planter and is protected from morning and evening sun; not sure if that has anything to do with it.
Reply:Here's what I did with mine:





I planted a seedling in a pot of sandy soil - I used a self-watering pot. I fill the reservoir whenever it's empty and the soil is bone-dry. I keep it in a sheltered spot that gets plenty of sun, and I bring it inside before the first frost. It goes back out about when daytime highs get around 12ºC and night lows are about 5ºC. Other than that, I leave it alone, and it's a healthy woody shrub right now, with plenty of fresh tender growth on top for whatever I need.
