Planting guide

Plant in well-drained soil with good air circulation, spacing plants 60–90cm apart if using for hedging. Avoid waterlogged conditions.

Care tips

Grow in well-drained, light soil and position in full sun. Trim lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Avoid overwatering, as rosemary prefers dry conditions.

Winter care

Hardy in most UK regions, but in colder areas, provide protection from harsh frosts by covering with fleece or planting in a sheltered position. Container-grown plants should be moved to a frost-free location in winter.
