Rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus 'Well-Sweep Golden') needs to be watered about once a week, with the frequency being adjusted according to the season. In summer, it should be watered more often than in winter. Before watering, the soil should be checked for moisture. In dry climates, it may need to be watered every 5-7 days; in moist climates, it may only need to be watered every 10-14 days. When watering, make sure to water deeply so that the roots of the plant can benefit from all the moisture and nutrients. Give the soil a thorough soaking so that water runs through the entire root zone. After watering, allow the soil to dry out before watering again. Too much water can cause root rot, so it’s better to underwater than overwater when it comes to rosemary.

Rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus 'Well-Sweep Golden') is an evergreen shrub which prefers full sun and needs at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day to thrive. It thrives best when exposed to sunlight for most of the day and does not enjoy heavy shade. It is best if it receives sunlight from mid-morning to mid-afternoon when the sun is at its brightest. During the hottest parts of the day, Rosemary should be given some shade to avoid wilting or sunburn of its leaves.

Rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus 'Well-Sweep Golden') should be pruned once every spring, with severe pruning done in late winter. This plant typically responds well to pruning and will maintain its shape and form. Start by removing dead and damaged growth, then shape and size the plant as desired. Prune back about 1-third of the length of branches to encourage new growth. If the plant has become too large for its current area, it can be pruned back to a desired height. For an overall tidier look, snip off the tips of any remaining long branches.
