Rosemary seeds — the classic Mediterranean evergreen

Rosemary is an essential kitchen herb and a handsome garden shrub in one — needle-like, intensely aromatic leaves for roasts and breads, on an evergreen plant studded with blue flowers that bees adore. The species is gathered under Rosmarinus officinalis within our culinary herb range. New to herbs? Our herb growing guide covers the basics.

Rosemary from seed is slow but rewarding — the herb calendar shows the timing.

A herb, a shrub and a bee plant

Evergreen and long-lived, rosemary gives fresh leaves all year and flowers early for bees, so it sits among our perennial and aromatic herbs and near our drought-tolerant herbs.

Growing rosemary from seed

Sow in spring in warmth; germination is slow and patchy, so sow a little extra and be patient. Grow on in full sun and sharp, free-draining soil — rosemary thrives on dry, poor ground and dislikes winter wet.
