Rosemary Plant Through the Year

Rosemary keeps its shape and colour throughout the year, making it useful beyond the cooking garden.

  • Spring: New shoots appear and small flowers may form as growth begins.
  • Summer: Plants grow more quickly in warm weather and leaves can be picked as needed.
  • Autumn: Growth slows but foliage stays green and aromatic.
  • Winter: Evergreen leaves remain in place when planted in free-draining soil with some shelter.

How to Choose and Grow a Rosemary Plant

Rosemary is an easy plant once it’s in the right spot, but it does not like wet feet or heavy soil.

  • Grow rosemary in a sunny place with free-draining soil
  • Pots, containers, and raised areas suit it better than damp ground
  • Water more often at first, then less as roots settle in
  • Light trimming keeps plants tidy and encourages fresh growth
  • Avoid cutting hard into old, woody stems

Rosemary grows comfortably alongside lavender and other Mediterranean herbs with similar needs.
