Rosemary – 0.1 gr

Description

DAYS TO GERMINATION:

14-21 days at 18–21°C.

SOWING:

Transplant (recommended): Start seeds in flats 10-12 weeks before the last frost. Sow seeds on the surface of the growing medium and gently press them into the medium. Cover the seeds lightly, as light is required for germination. Keep flats at 12-16°C and keep the soil moist, but not soaked, until germination occurs. Transplant to individual containers or thin when plants have 4 true leaves. Transplant outdoors after the last frost in rows 45-90 cm apart. In-row spacing is 20-25 cm apart where it will be grown as an annual and 60-90 cm apart where it will be grown as a perennial. Rosemary may overwinter in colder climates if mulched or dug up and transferred to containers in a protected structure. If using primed seed, press seeds into the top of the growing medium. Germinate at 21°C. Treat the same as unprimed seed after germination is complete.
