Rosemary Seeds – Non-GMO Heirloom

The fragrant Mediterranean herb worth a spot in your garden

Rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus) is a woody evergreen perennial prized for its needle-like leaves and warm, piney, slightly resinous aroma. A cornerstone of Mediterranean cooking, it pairs naturally with roasted meats, potatoes, and breads. In mild climates it grows into a handsome shrub that stays green and fragrant all year, with pale blue flowers that bees adore, making it as ornamental as it is useful in a sunny border, herb bed, or large pot.

How to grow rosemary from seed

Rosemary asks for patience but very little else. Sow rosemary seeds shallowly, about an eighth of an inch deep, in warm, well-drained soil in full sun, and keep them evenly moist while they germinate, which can be slow and uneven. Space or thin plants about two feet apart, since a mature shrub gets large. Rosemary is drought-tolerant once established and reaches two to four feet over time. For the full step-by-step, see our complete guide to growing rosemary from seed.

How to use rosemary

Rosemary brings depth to countless dishes. Strip the leaves to season roast chicken, lamb, and potatoes, tuck whole sprigs under a roast or into focaccia dough, or infuse them into oils, vinegars, and butters. Its sturdy woody stems make fragrant skewers for grilling. Beyond the kitchen, rosemary is traditionally brewed into herbal teas and its aromatic sprigs are used in wreaths and homemade infusions.

Rosemary and its Mediterranean cousins

If you love rosemary, you will enjoy the other sun-loving herbs of the Mediterranean. Try thyme for a low, aromatic groundcover, sage for velvety, savory leaves, or oregano for a pizza-and-pasta staple. You can explore the full range in our herb seeds collection.
