watering
Rosemary should be watered when the soil is dry. Water rosemary deeply and slowly allowing the water to soak into the soil. During the spring and summer, rosemary plants should be watered about once a week. In the fall and winter, water only when the soil begins to dry out. Make sure to moisten all of the soil throughly, but be careful to not over-water. If the soil appears overly wet, allow it to dry out before watering again.
sunlight
Rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus 'Tuscan Blue') is best grown in full sun. This plant species requires at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily to stay healthy and vigorous. Rosemary can tolerate some afternoon shade, but the longer and brighter the morning sun, the more fragrant and plentiful the foliage will be. Although this plant species appreciates full sun, it can also tolerate some dappled sun in more temperate climates.
pruning
Rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus 'Tuscan Blue') should be pruned lightly in early spring and late fall. Pruning usually involves trimming or thinning out the plant, and can be done to create a more manageable shape or to remove winter damage. It is recommended that you only remove up to 1-third of the plant for pruning. In addition, if the plant appears to be overly large or out of shape, then it may be necessary to prune more extensively.
