Herb – Rosemary

Growing Instructions

1. Cold stratify the seeds before planting by placing the seeds in the freezer for 2 weeks.
2. Then sow indoors onto seed compost.
3. Lightly press into the soil but don’t cover as light is needed for germination.
4. Place in a heated propagator between 18-24c.
5. Germination will take 14-28 days and can be erratic so over sow.
6. If germination doesn’t occur, move to 4c for 4 weeks before returning to warmth.
7. Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle to 8cm pots.
8. Don’t over water and keep somewhere warm and sunny.
9. When 20cm tall, they can be planted outside in a well drained, sheltered spot.
10. Harvest by cutting a sprig just above a leaf node.
