Starting a Rosemary Herb Plant

If given the correct start to life, this herb can handle a lack of attention. You just need to know a few fundamentals when it comes to growing the rosemary herb, and you can be assured of a bountiful harvest for the remainder of the growing season.

Getting a rosemary herb plant started is generally the most challenging part of growing this plant. Starting from seed is no easy task, but if you decide to give it a whirl, soak your seeds for a few hours before planting to increase your odds of success. Most gardeners will choose to start rosemary from a cutting, which will generally yield more positive results. However, you can also pick up a rosemary herb plant or two from your local nursery in the spring and plant them directly outdoors for best results.

Once it is successfully established, rosemary herb plants require very little care and watering to thrive. They tend to like a lot of sun and good drainage, and rarely require fertilizer. However, you can choose to feed your plants once in the spring with a fish/kelp emulsion for best growing results. The rosemary herb is a delightful, aromatic addition to any garden that can also be used to enhance your recipes all year long!
