HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Since growing rosemary from seed is a long and difficult process, start these bulk rosemary seeds indoors 5-6 months in advance of transplanting. Press the seeds lightly into the soil and place in a sunny spot, since rosemary requires light for germination; keep the temperature at 65-70 degrees F. Keep the soil lightly moist, using a spray bottle or careful watering. Germination will be very slow, up to a month, with a naturally low percentage of the seeds sprouting. When the plants grow big enough to handle safely and there is no chance of frost, transplant them to light soil and full sun 18-24" apart. Rosemary thrives in dry and stony soils, and can be easily propagated from cuttings; it also makes an excellent container plant, especially in winters that drop below 17 degrees F.
Growing: Once rosemary has been established, it will grow quite well on its own without watering or fertilization. If overwatered, the plant may suffer from root rot. After flowering, the plant should be pruned to prevent straggly, unhealthy growth.
Harvesting: Once the plant is well established, harvest fresh leaves when needed; the peak flavor is achieved immediately before the plant flowers, but after this point the flavor becomes lost. Fresh rosemary can be dried or frozen for future use. The leaves should be dried quickly to preserve their color and flavor.
Seed Saving: Remove the seed heads individually as soon as they begin to turn brown and dry, and spread them out to finish drying in a protected location out of direct sunlight. Thresh out the seeds by rubbing or shaking the heads, and remove as much chaff as possible. Store the rosemary seeds in bulk in a cool, dry place for up to 1 year.

best seeds i ever bought
another essential herb
A bit slow to germinate and it can be temperamental. An old wive's tale is that Rosemary prospers only where the woman is in charge of the household. For anyone who lives in an area with harsh winters, it's best to bring the plant indoors before the first frost
Packaging
Everything was fine, but the packaging bottom unsealed creating a little hole. Lost some seeds. Keep an eye out.
Nice
This product is good. The seeds look nice. The packaging is perfect. I am excited to plant.

Perfect!
Good price, fast shipping, love the packaging.
Fast Germination
I started these seeds very early because the info on website and the package said they can be slow to germinate, up to a month! I started these indoors on a heat mat and covered with a baggie. They popped up 6 days after starting! Love Everwilde, resealable seed pack is beautiful, good quality seed and competitively priced
