The evergreen and bushy branched rosemary is easily recognized by its intense aromatic scent and the dark green, slender and elongated leaves, which are slightly rolled at the lower end to protect them from drying out. The numerous blue-purple flowers with their extensive stamens can present themselves from February to June. The shrub can be easily cultivated in a tub and is even frost-resistant to a certain extent. Wild rosemary grows throughout the western and central Mediterranean region, particularly in the coastal areas from Portugal to the Ionian Sea. The best time for propagation is to start in February in a sunny location indoors, as the seed is a light germinator. Spread the seeds on moist coconut substrate or organic herb soil and press lightly. Cover the seed container with clear film to prevent the soil from drying out, but do not forget to drill a few holes in the clear film and remove it completely every second or third day for about 2 hours. This way you avoid the formation of mold on the potting soil. Place the seed container in a bright and warm place with a temperature between 20°C and 25°C and keep the surface of the soil moist, but not wet (preferably using a water sprayer). Depending on the propagation temperature, the first seedlings will emerge after two to five weeks. Seedlings that are already raised indoors can be planted in early May. As soon as no more night frosts are to be expected, you can move the seedling with its complete root ball, to avoid stress for the plant. The plant needs sun, warmth and a place protected from the wind to produce its full aroma. Keep the soil always moist, but not waterlogged. Water your plant as soon as the top layer of soil has dried. Fertilize the plant very modestly with compost or organic fertilizer for herbs, or do not fertilize at all. Ideally, Rosemary hibernates in a bright and cool place indoors with a temperature around 5° to 8° Celsius. Water only until the rooting does not dry out. Outdoor plants should be provided with a thick layer of mulch or foliage to protect the roots from frost and with a transparent plastic cover as protection against moisture.
