Rosemary prefers full sun, well-drained soil, and good air circulation. There is little need for fertilizer. Sow outdoors after the last spring frost. Start transplants indoors 10 weeks before the last spring frost date.
Harvest tender sprigs as needed, or cut back entire plant and hang stems to dry. Rosemary matures over several seasons. Harvest lightly for the first few years.
