Cultivation Advice Herb Rosemary

Sow in pots, covering a liberal amount of the seeds lightly (with compost).
Start indoors in a dark room, as this will aid germination.
The optimum soil temperature should be around 15c (60f).
Although rosemary can take up to 3 months before germination outside,
you should see some results in about 2-3 weeks if kept at the correct temperature.
Once germinated place in a warm, sunny position and when 20cm (4inches) high they may be planted out.
Rosemary prefers well drained soil, in a sunny, sheltered spot.
