Frequently Asked Questions

What pest or disease commonly affects Salvia rosmarinus (Roman Beauty), and how can I treat it?

Watch for powdery mildew on Salvia rosmarinus, especially when nights are cool and air stays humid; it looks like a white, dusty coating on leaves. Remove badly affected stems, improve airflow by spacing plants, and water at the base rather than wetting foliage. If mildew keeps returning, apply an appropriate fungicide labeled for powdery mildew on herbs/ornamentals and repeat as directed.

How do I know when Roman Beauty (Salvia rosmarinus) is ready to harvest?

For fresh leaves, harvest once plants are well developed—typically around 60 days—and when shoots have multiple pairs of leaves. Pick in the morning, snipping stems just above leaf nodes; don’t remove more than about one-third of the plant at a time so it can regrow.
