Growing rosemary outdoors is as easy as planting a few sprigs in the ground. You can also plant it with other herbs like thyme, chives, and oregano to create your own mixed herb garden or even cook together for added flavor!
To plant rosemary from seeds outdoors, prepare your garden beds with a generous layer of compost or organic material, and then sprinkle your seeds and cover them with a thin layer of soil. Water daily to keep the soil moist until it sprouts. Plant in an area that receives at least eight hours of full sunlight per day,
If you choose to purchase rosemary seedlings all you have to do to plant them is gently remove from the potting soil, make a hole in your prepared soil with your fingers and plant them at least 12 inches apart.
Note: If you live in cold climates, check the cold hardiness map for best practices for your particular zone. I live in the northeast, so I plant my rosemary in pots and winter them over in the house to ensure they survive our frigid New England winters.
