Rosemary Simply Herbs - 3 Seed Pellets (10 - 15 Seeds per pellet)

Rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus) is a fragrant, evergreen herb known for its needle-like leaves and woody stems. It has a strong, aromatic scent and a slightly piney, earthy flavour, making it a popular culinary herb. The Simple Herb Multiseed Pellets (10 - 15 seeds per pellet) have multiple rosemary seeds in each pellet, which makes planting and germination more efficient. These pellets help produce fuller, bushier plants by growing multiple seedlings together in a single location.

Growth Habit: Perennial in warm climates but can be grown as an annual in colder regions.

Height: Can reach 60-90 cm in height when mature.

Spacing: Plants grow in a bushy, upright manner and should be spaced 30-45 cm apart.

Uses: Perfect for culinary purposes, companion planting, and ornamental landscaping. It also attracts pollinators like bees.

Sowing Rosemary Simply Herb Multiseed Pellets

Indoors: Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost if growing in cooler climates.

Outdoors: In warm regions, sow directly outdoors once temperatures consistently stay above 15°C.

Sowing Method

Use well-draining, sandy or loamy soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.5.

Planting Depth: Press the seed pellets gently into the soil surface (rosemary needs light to germinate, so do not bury deeply).

Watering: Mist lightly to keep the soil moist but not soggy. Avoid overwatering, as rosemary dislikes excessive moisture.

Germination: Can take 14-28 days, so be patient!

Light & Temperature

Sunlight: Needs at least 6-8 hours of full sun daily.

Temperature: Prefers warm conditions (18-24°C) for healthy growth. Avoid frost exposure.

Watering & Soil Care

Keep the soil lightly moist during early growth. Once established, rosemary is drought-tolerant and prefers drier conditions.

Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. Allow the soil to dry between watering sessions.

Pruning & Maintenance

Once plants are 15-20 cm tall, start pruning the tips to encourage bushy growth.

Regular harvesting helps keep shape and promotes new growth.

Trim dead or woody stems to keep the plant healthy.

Fertilizing

Rosemary doesn’t need heavy feeding. Apply a diluted, balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during active growth.

Pests & Diseases

Generally, pest-resistant but watch out for aphids, spider mites, and powdery mildew.

Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases.

Harvesting Rosemary

When to Harvest: Begin harvesting once the plant reaches at least 15 cm tall.

How to Harvest: Cut sprigs from the top, leaving some foliage to continue growing.

Drying & Storing: Rosemary dries well—simply hang sprigs upside down in a dry, dark area.

Tips for Success

Grow in containers for easy overwintering in colder climates.
Use well-draining soil and avoid overwatering.

Prune regularly to keep a compact shape.
Companion plant with carrots, beans, and cabbage to deter pests.

By following these guidelines, you can successfully grow Simply Herb Rosemary Multiseed Pellets for a continuous supply of fragrant, delicious rosemary!
