Germination Temperature: Rosemary seeds require a warm environment for germination. The optimal temperature range is 18–24°C. However, germination can still occur at slightly lower temperatures, around 21–27°C (70–80°F), though it may take longer. Consistency in warmth is key, often achieved with a heat mat indoors.

Germination Time: Rosemary seeds are notoriously slow to germinate, typically taking 14–28 days under ideal conditions (warmth, moisture, and light). Some sources report germination can extend to 30 days or more if conditions are suboptimal, with a success rate often as low as 30–50%.

Plant Height, Span, and Seed Sowing Depth

• Plant Height: Rosemary can grow 2–6 feet (60–180 cm) tall, depending on the variety (upright or trailing) and growing conditions.
• Plant Span: The width or spread ranges from 2–4 feet (60–120 cm) for upright varieties, while trailing types may spread wider if unpruned.
• Seed Sowing Depth: Sow seeds shallowly at ¼ inch (6 mm) or lightly press them into the soil surface, as they require light to germinate.

Plant Spacing: Space rosemary plants 18–36 inches (45–90 cm) apart to allow for adequate air circulation and growth. In containers or dense plantings, 12–18 inches (30–45 cm) may suffice for smaller varieties.

Row Spacing: For garden beds, rows should be spaced 24–36 inches (60–90 cm) apart to accommodate the plant’s spread and ensure proper sunlight exposure.

Trellis Requirement: Rosemary generally does not require a trellis or physical support, as it grows as a woody shrub. However, trailing varieties (e.g., ‘Prostratus’) may benefit from support if grown vertically or along walls. Upright varieties are self-supporting unless heavily pruned or in windy areas.

Seed to Harvest Time: From seed, rosemary takes 6–12 months to reach a harvestable size (about 4–6 inches tall). Once established, you can begin light harvesting after 80–100 days from transplanting nursery plants or cuttings.

Seed to Bloom Time: Rosemary typically blooms 12–18 months after sowing seeds, often in late spring to early summer of the second year. Plants from cuttings may bloom within 6–12 months, depending on conditions.

Pot Size/Container Size/Bed Size (in inches)

• Pot Size: A minimum of 12 inches (30 cm) in diameter and depth is recommended for a single plant to allow root growth. Larger plants may need 18–24 inches (45–60 cm).
• Bed Size: In garden beds, allocate 2–3 feet (60–90 cm) per plant for optimal growth.

Soil Type:

• Soil Type: Rosemary thrives in well-draining, sandy, or loamy soil with low to moderate fertility. It dislikes heavy clay or waterlogged soils, which can cause root rot. Adding coarse sand or grit improves drainage.
• Ideal pH Level: 6.0–7.0 (slightly acidic to neutral). It tolerates slightly alkaline soils up to pH 7.8 but performs best within the neutral range.

Daily Sunlight Requirement:

• Daily Sunlight: Rosemary requires 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily for healthy growth.
• Light for Germination: Seeds need light to germinate, so do not cover them deeply—lightly press into the soil surface or cover with a thin layer of mix.

Water Requirement:

• Seedlings: Use 0.1–0.2 liters per watering, keeping soil moist but not soggy, every 2–3 days.
• Young Plants (4–12 inches): 0.5–1 liter every 7–10 days, allowing soil to dry between waterings.
• Mature Plants (>12 inches): 1–2 liters every 10–14 days in the ground, or 0.5–1 liter every 5–7 days in pots, depending on climate and drainage. Rosemary is drought-tolerant once established.

Fertilizer Requirement and Application Rate

Rosemary is not a heavy feeder. Use a balanced fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10 N-P-K):

• Seedlings: 1–2 g per plant, diluted in water, once after transplanting.
• Young Plants (4–12 inches): 5–10 g every 6 weeks.
• Mature Plants: 10–20 g every 2–3 months in spring and summer. Avoid over-fertilizing to maintain fragrance.
