Keep the growing medium consistently moist but not waterlogged and maintain a temperature around 23°C during germination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRosemary can be slow to germinate, so be patient and avoid allowing the seed raising mix to dry out during this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce seedlings are large enough to handle, gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions before transplanting into their final position. Allow around 45 cm between plants to give them enough room to develop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce established, rosemary is quite drought tolerant and prefers the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid excessive watering, particularly in heavy soils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarvest leaves and tender shoots as required throughout the year. Regular harvesting and pruning encourages bushier growth and helps keep plants compact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRosemary can be maintained for many years with regular pruning. Avoid cutting heavily into old, woody stems, instead prune back the softer green growth to maintain a healthy, productive plant.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SHOP SEEDS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54049299398970,"sku":null,"price":7.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0766\/3245\/7530\/files\/rosemary-rosmarinus-officinalis-1814291.png?v=1789259288","url":"https:\/\/www.shopseeds.com.au\/products\/rosemary-rosmarinus-officinalis","provider":"SHOP SEEDS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
