Barbeque

Rosemary

90d to harvest

Fragrant as a sun-warmed pine grove, Barbeque Rosemary releases a bold, resinous aroma the moment you brush its needlelike foliage. Expect a dense, upright habit with deep green, sharply textured sprigs that hold their character through drying and roasting—ideal for infusing oils, seasoning hearty dishes, and crafting fragrant pickles and vinegars. A perennial favorite for gardeners who want a reliable, long-season aromatic that looks as good as it smells.

Frequently Asked Questions

What pest or disease commonly affects Salvia rosmarinus (rosemary) and what’s the fastest way to fix it?

Watch for leaf spots and stem dieback caused by too-wet conditions, especially in cool, crowded beds where air can’t dry foliage quickly. If you see browning tips or spots, remove affected growth, improve airflow, and water at the base so leaves stay dry; avoid overhead irrigation. If you’re growing in containers, make sure the pot drains freely and let the surface dry before watering again.

How often should I water Salvia rosmarinus during its 8–12 week main growth period?

Water deeply when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry, then let the soil dry back again before the next watering—rosemary needs a dry-down cycle rather than constant moisture. In full sun during active growth, this often ends up around about once per week in the ground (more during heat) but less in heavy soils or consistently cool weather. If leaves yellow or stems stay limp, you’re likely watering too frequently; cut back and increase drainage immediately.
