How to Plant and Care for Rosemary

Rosemary loves a sunny location with good drainage. Prepare the soil with a little compost, avoid overwatering, and mulch lightly to help retain moisture. Most varieties are frost hardy and tolerate short dry spells once established. Occasional pruning keeps plants bushy and productive. Harvest fresh sprigs for the kitchen as needed, or dry the leaves for year-round use.

Uses for Rosemary in Your NZ Garden

Rosemary isn’t just a kitchen staple; it’s a landscaping hero too. Use it for formal hedges, Mediterranean borders, or as a scented feature plant near entertaining spaces. The flowers attract pollinators, while its drought tolerance makes it a wise pick for water-wise gardens.
