Northern Bog Rosemary

Watering Northern Bog Rosemary requires that the soil be kept slightly moist throughout the growing season. The soil should be damp but not soggy, and there should be no standing water near the plant. It is essential to keep the soil moist for optimal growth. During the peak growing season, the plant should be watered approximately once or twice every week depending on the soil. During the winter and early spring, it should be watered less frequently, but the soil should still remain moist. If the plant is kept in a pot, it should be monitored more closely for soil moisture and watered accordingly.

Northern Bog Rosemary prefers partial sun to full sun, with it tolerating partial shade when necessary. It does best with at least 4 hours of sunlight per day, with the morning or late afternoon sun being best in order to avoid intense heat during the midday. This plant is typically found in areas with full sun exposure more than partial shade. Additionally, as a Bog Rosemary prefers cooler temperatures, it is best to keep this plant protected from intense heat and direct sunlight during the hottest parts of the day in the summertime.

Northern Bog Rosemary is a low-growing deciduous shrub that responds best to moderate pruning. As a general rule, it is best to prune Northern Bog Rosemary in early spring, after any cold weather but before new growth begins. Pruning should be kept to a minimum in order to not damage the small stems. Depending on desired shape and size, remove up to 1/3 of the older, woody stems. This will help to keep the shrub healthy and encourage fresh, new growth.
