Hi Gardening Friends

Here is how to grow the herb Rosemary from seed?

First of all as always you need to buy quality seed from well known seed companies. Here are some seed companies that you can buy seed from.

3. W Atlee Burpee Seed Company

Also if you want to buy a small amount of seeds from Burpee seeds

you can get them at Walmart Super Center. I don't recommend that you buy plants from Walmart Super Center. But if you want quality seed and save on shipping and a small amount buy from the Burpee seed rack at Walmart Super Center in your area.

Now here is how you grow the herb Rosemary from seed.

First as always you need to start with clean propagating flats that are

sterilized. And also you need to have a good germination mixture that is

sterilized and for starting seeds. Take your clean seed flat and fill it half

full of germinating mixture and soak it and let it drain. Then take your seed packet of

rosemary and start to sow the seed. You can do this in a solid seed flat or you can start them in a clean plug tray or flat and you fill it with germinating mixture and soak the flat and let drain. Now you take your seed and broadcast the seed over the entire flat.Don't cover the seeds in the flat let them uncovered. After you are done sowing the seeds you can mist the flat and put it on the greenhouse bench or under a grow light and on a propagating mat.

Rosemary is a perennial.

which is a bushy 2 ft/61 cm plant. Use the needles-like tips sparingly to flavor

meats and sauces.

It usually takes about 10 to 14 days from seed to germinate rosemary from seed. I hope you try this herb and have success in growing Rosemary from seed. Happy Gardening ! Gardener Den
