Growth Timeline

  • Growing Season: Most herbs and flowers have a peak growing season that starts in Spring and extends through Fall. Some herbs, such as parsley and cilantro, continue to thrive outside of these seasons. Most herbs can survive year-round. However, they will be dormant during the mild winter months.
  • First Harvest: Herbs grow slower and can take 1-2 months to get to a harvesting stage. Take frequent cuttings once reaching this point for the longevity of the plant.
  • Final Harvest: Herbs will last easily through a season. Many varieties are perennials and will become dormant in the winter before popping back into action in the spring.

Growing Zone

Barbecue Rosemary grows best in zones 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12, but may do well outside that range as well.

Most Herbs prefer warmer temperatures and will be dormant or grow very slowly in the winter. There are different edible floral varieties that grow throughout the seasons. Be aware of the extreme temperature ranges in your region:

COLD CLIMATES

  • If you live in a location where the temperatures dip below freezing, then you will want to wait to grow herbs until night temperatures are in the 50's consistently.
  • On the occasional dips into the 40's or 30's, you can cover your seedlings with a sheet overnight.

WARM CLIMATES:

  • Herbs do just fine in the heat!

To find out what extreme temperatures your location experiences, check out the USDA zone for your region.

More Herb & Floral Tips

Watering: Herbs don't need as much water as lettuce and leafy greens. In fact, most varieties like to dry out in between watering.

About this plant

Barbecue Rosemary earns its name honestly: a certified organic live 4-inch plant of Salvia rosmarinus that sends up unusually straight, rigid stems clothed in dark needlelike leaves, with blue tubular flowers riding above the foliage.

The narrow upright habit suits a sunny patio pot, a herb planting by the back door, or a loose low hedge along a path where every passing brush releases resin. Strip a mature stem and you have a fragrant skewer for the grill — the reason this selection exists. Give it full sun and lean, fast-draining soil with grit if your ground holds water; once rooted it is genuinely drought-tough and asks for very little.

Grower's note: trim lightly after the early-summer flowers and never cut back into old bare wood, which rarely breaks again. For backups, semi-ripe cuttings from non-flowering shoots root readily in summer and stay true to this upright form.
