watering
Rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus 'Sawyer's Select') should be watered every 7-10 days during the warmer months, or when the soil is dry to the touch. Water the plant thoroughly until the water runs out of the drainage holes in the pot. During the winter months, water only when the soil is dryâapproximately every 2 weeks. Be careful not to overwaterâtoo much moisture will cause leaf drop and rot.
sunlight
Rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus 'Sawyer's Select') should be grown in an area with direct sunlight for at least 6 hours a day. This plant prefers full sun in spring and summer, and partial shade in autumn and winter. While it can tolerate cooler climates, it needs ample sunshine to produce the essential oils that give it its signature flavor. Rosemary is a Mediterranean plant, so itâs best when grown in warmer regions with mild winters. To ensure that your rosemary receives enough sunlight, consider positioning it near a south- or south-west facing window. If youâre able to offer extra sun, early morning or late afternoon light can help encourage fuller foliage growth.
pruning
Rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus 'Sawyer's Select') should be pruned lightly in early spring, right before new growth begins, in order to keep its shape and encourage fullness. Dead branches and stems should also be pruned. When pruning, remove no more than 1-third of the bush at a time. Shorten long or leggy stems, and pinch out new shoots to encourage thick, dense growth.
