A seed worth growing

Primed Rosemary Herb Seed

Item #HSC-HRB-027-PKT

Faster, more even rosemary germination.

Primed rosemary comes up faster and more evenly than untreated seed, so fewer cells in the tray sit empty. Conventional seed with conventional priming (not NOP-compliant). Sow within six months of purchase for best results.

The small flowers are edible, with a bold rosemary taste: use them fresh on savory dishes and salads, with roasted vegetables, or with fruit or whipped cream.

Stem tips are ready about 80–100 days from sowing and bunches at 120–180 days. Open-pollinated.

Growing Information

Days to germination

About 14–21 days at 18–21°C (65–70°F).

Starting indoors

Recommended. Start in seed flats 10–12 weeks ahead of your last frost. Scatter the seed on top of the mix and firm it in, with at most a dusting of cover, since light aids germination. Keep the flats at 12–16°C (55–60°F) keeping the mix evenly damp, never waterlogged, until sprouts show. Pot up or thin at four true leaves.

Primed seed

Press primed seed into the surface and germinate it at about 21°C (70°F); after that, grow it on like untreated seed.

Planting out

Once the last frost has passed, set plants 8–10" apart for an annual crop or 24–36" apart for plants kept as perennials, in rows 18–36" apart.

Soil

Light, free-draining soil.

Light

Full sun.

Harvest

Tips can be snipped from roughly 80–100 days after planting and full bunches from 120–180 days. Dry small bundles hanging in a dry, shaded spot.

Hardiness

Zones 6–10. Farther north, a thick mulch may carry plants through, or lift them into pots and keep them under cover over winter.

Plant height

18–60".

Packet
