Cumberland rosemary

For Cumberland Rosemary, watering should be done as needed depending on the environment in which it is planted. Water the plant deeply once or twice a week, making sure to completely moisten the soil and to water the root zone thoroughly. During dry periods, additional watering may be needed to help keep soil moist. Be careful not to over-water, as this may cause root rot and other issues. Monitor the soil moisture level by feeling the soil, and water when the top inch or 2 of soil feels dry.

Cumberland rosemary, a perennial native to the southeastern United States, prefers full sun. It needs at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day for optimum health. It grows best in well-draining soils and can tolerate moderate drought conditions, making it a great choice for dry climates. In the hottest parts of the year, partial shade can be beneficial to protect the plant from the extreme heat. However, it should still receive some direct sunlight during the cooler months to support healthy growth and flowering.

Cumberland rosemary (Conradina verticillata) is best pruned during the early spring season. Pruning should be done with caution and only when necessary, as this plant has a tendency to become over-pruned. Prune only dead, damaged, or encroaching stems to maintain the shape of the plant. Prune only a small amount at any 1 time, as the plant is slow growing.
