Instructions
Top Tip
Prune Rosmarinus annually after flowering to maintain its compact shape and encourage fresh, dense growth. Remove any dead or damaged stems to improve air circulation, reducing the risk of disease. This hardy plant is well-suited for culinary use, so harvesting its fragrant leaves regularly can also help maintain its appearance. Plant it in a sunny herb garden or as a decorative hedge for a touch of Mediterranean charm.
How to Water
Water Rosmarinus deeply after planting and regularly during its first year, particularly during dry spells. Once established, this plant is drought-tolerant and requires only occasional watering. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. During extended dry periods, water early in the morning or late in the evening to minimise evaporation. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings to mimic the plant’s natural growing conditions.
How to Plant
To plant Rosmarinus, choose a sunny spot with well-draining, sandy or loamy soil, as they thrive in neutral to alkaline conditions. Ensure the site is sheltered from strong winds to protect the plant’s delicate growth. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and slightly shallower than its depth. Position the plant, backfill the hole, and firm the soil gently. Water well to settle the roots and add a layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture, keeping the mulch clear of the stem.
