Yes, rosemary is a perennial herb. This means that it will grow back year after year from the same root system. Rosemary is a relatively slow-growing herb, but it can live for many years if properly cared for.
To care for a rosemary plant, water it regularly, especially during the first year after planting. Fertilize the plant in the spring with a balanced fertilizer. Prune the plant in the late winter or early spring to remove any dead or diseased branches, and to shape the plant.
Rosemary can be grown in the ground or in a pot. If you are growing rosemary in a pot, be sure to choose a pot that is large enough to accommodate the plant's root system. Rosemary also prefers full sun to partial shade.
Here are some additional tips for growing rosemary:
- Choose a spot in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil.
- Plant the rosemary in the spring or fall.
- Water the rosemary regularly, especially during the first year after planting.
- Fertilize the rosemary in the spring with a balanced fertilizer.
- Prune the rosemary in the late winter or early spring to remove any dead or diseased branches, and to shape the plant.
- Mulch around the rosemary with organic matter, such as pine needles or wood chips, to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Enjoy the beauty and flavor of rosemary for years to come!
Note: The plant is shipped in its pot, firmly secured with several layers of clear tape, thereby avoiding any shuffling and moving during transit. The plant reaches you with minimal damage- very safe and secure. We have been shipping plants like this for several years (plant are sometimes shipped in smaller pots for safety and ease of shipping). Most plants go dormant in fall and winter and will lose most of their leaves - looking dead and dry - very normal. They will flush out in spring.
We cannot send ship some plants and some sizes to California due to restrictions placed by department of agriculture.
