In summer, deep blue-violet flowers arise in great masses, and the rich color stays true even in the hottest days, refusing to bleach or fade. Rosemary herb plants are very attractive to beneficial insects and attract pollinators to the garden. Rosemary can also be kept in a container to be brought indoors during the winter. Rosemary plants can be shaped and manicured to promote a more attractive, compact addition to your drought tolerant herb garden or container.
How To Grow Rosemary from Herb Seeds: Some gardeners soak the Rosemary seeds before sowing to help prime the seed. Sow the herb seeds on the surface of the soil (indoors 6 - 8 weeks before last frost) or outdoors when temperatures have warmed up. Do not cover the Rosemary seeds as light is needed for germination. For harvesting, flavor is best before plant blooms. Clip leaves and sprigs as needed and use fresh, or dry for later use. Leaves may be frozen as well.
