Growing rosemary

It is propagated through cutting. Snip the 2-inch long stem. Remove the leaves on the bottom two-thirds of the cutting. Place the cutting in the mixture of perlite and peat moss, spraying to keep them moist until roots begin to grow. Plant the cutting directly into the garden after any threat of frost has passed.

Plant to plant distance: 2-3 feet

Well drained soil

6-8 hours of sunlight if it whole day sun then don’t allow to dry plant

Make sure no taller trees or shrubs are close to the rosemary plant bed to avoid shade.

Fertilizer: 

mixing the compost at planting time is enough for growth then provide liquid fertilizer.

Irrigation: 

light irrigation doesn’t become soil dry

dry in a cool place and store in an airtight container.
