Rosemary is a popular herb that has the ability to enhance the taste of various dishes. It’s also used in aromatherapy and makes a great herbal tea. Here’s a guide on starting rosemary seeds at home.

Step 1: Choose the Best Rosemary Seeds

The first step is choosing the right rosemary seed to grow. Since there are four types of rosemary, you want to choose the one that is best for you.

Step 2: Start Indoors

It’s best to start rosemary seeds indoors 10 to 12 weeks before the last frost date in your area – or before you plan to move them outdoors into a container or the garden .

Step 3: Prepare Your Seed Starter

Fill seed starting trays or a small pot with the seed starting mix, leaving about half an inch from the top.

Step 4: Sow Your Rosemary Seeds

Make small tiny holes in the soil and place the tiny rosemary seeds in the soil. Lightly brush the soil over the seeds.
