I make make my dogs homemade food, I always add rosemary to it. Rosemary is healthy for your dog to eat and can even be used as a natural flea repellant. It also contains antioxidants that may prevent cancer and heart disease and is good for your dog's digestive issues given its antimicrobial properties. Rosemary can also improve memory and mood.

Arrived almost dead. Soil wasnt packed well at all, everywhere in the box. It didn’t even survived after rough packing and shipping.

Frida, thanks for your question. The style of Rosemary used is Arp Rosemary.

In zone 7 and colder, try growing rosemary in a container you can bring inside in cold weather. Rosemary will not overwinter in your area outside.

Out of 10 only 3 survived

If its Rosemary (which is what the picture reminds me of)Rosemary can ONLY take 30 degrees of cold & NO long term freeze. I'm in Zone 7 and have '2' of them. They do grow better in my zone. But you can plant in a container & bring in during below '30' degree weather!

My Rosemary lasted all winter through the snow. I replaced it by summer as the plant was starting to run its course, but can definitely survive snow. I am also zone 6

Yes, very hardy.

No, it doesn't like the sub-zero weather. But you can put it in a pot and bring it into the garage or other covered area for winter. It can handle 32 degrees, but nothing sub-zero (with wind chill factor).

I?m also in zone 6. I?ve killed many plants when I tried planting rosemary arp in ground & in containers but leaving them outside through the winter. Last effort was planting it in pots & overwintering on an unheated sunporch. They thrived 5 yrs so far.

Ypkants are very hardy

That's interesting, is it extra vermiculite, ie, that little white granule soft pieces in the bag? If so, that is vermiculite, which holds moisture in the soil and is commonly mixed in but maybe this time it's not mixed in. If it something else, I don't know as did not come with ours. Best advice would be to contact Bonnie Nursery directly or ask a helpful person in the Garden Center HD to make a phone call for you or send email - to ask what it might be. Interesting; maybe some free plant food? Enjoy the rosemary plants, mine are really going strong now in the ground!

Plants came well packed and great condition and with instructions.

I did not receive a bag with my rosemary plants but it could have been plant food or fertilizer although herbs generally don’t need rich soil. Place them near a window that gets good sunlight. Turn the pot every 5 or 6 days so the branches will continue to grow straight. Water the plant weekly or when top one inch of soil is dry. After watering, remove any excess water from plant saucer to maintain healthy roots. Rosemary makes a wonderful gift as it is the herb of remembrance.-Margie

I didn't get a little bag with my package. Weird.

Could be food/fertilizer? Although unless you can discern what it is, I’d trash it.

In colder temperatures a heat pack is added to shipments.

No. They are very scrawny. They may not survive.

Hi, So glad you like these wonderful rosemary plants from Bonnie's! Yes, I see no reason why they would not be fine in a sunny window. Better to remove from the plastic pot and put in a clay pot; put a saucer under for good drainage, keep safe from drafts and it should be fine. If you feel it might be getting too drafty in the window garden, put under lights (any lamp will work fine) for a few days and see if that helps. Also - these plants will be so happy if you keep them moist with a simple spray bottle of water. I've found distilled water is safer than tap water. If you have the kind of window garden that is enclosed a little or a lot, then drafts would not be a big problem. These do love the sun!

Yes

It's possible for a short time, but these plants will get very large.

Rosemary can be grown indoors. You will need to place it in a bright sunny location.

It loves the sun, but will get "HUGE" in several years. So, yes, to start, the window, if it gets DIRECT SUN for at least 6 hours, and not a/c draft, it should be fine.

I would say NO unless you have it securely wrapped and close to the house. It would NOT like freezing temps.

Established plants can survive a few hard frosts (under 28º F). Use a frost blanket to protect newly planted seedlings from late spring frosts or prolong the growing season. In general, potted rosemary can stay outdoors in a protected location until nighttime temperatures are consistently below 25º F. Hardy in zones 8-10.

Rosemary can't stand temps lower than 30 degrees. If your temps are lower during winter, plant in nice containers so you can bring in during the cold spells, as Rosemary smells awesome plus mosquitoes DON'T care for its smell..and they make a beautiful small bush!

I would not advise that at all. This is a plant that loves the sun, good rich soil and good drainage with a moist atmosphere. They can do well inside if kept on a sunny window or table that gets sunlight, in a porous pot, good rich soil, and good drainage. Rosemary is the kind of plant that you can plant in a much bigger pot and it will stretch roots out and become nice and bushy for you! They love to be misted or sprayed with water. Water that is safest (no chlorine!) would be a ($1) gallon jug of distilled water or purified h20. It will make a really big difference in the health of an indoor plant to have non-chlorinated water and lots of sunlight. You can move it around easily if you place a saucer under the pot. Enjoy the rosemary from Bonnie's! But not outside in winter, no.

I live in zone six and I leave mine outdoors in a large pot full sun; when the weather drops below 25° I throw A frost cover over it ..Three years old and counting its still growing just fine when the weather warms up

Not if there are young in freezing weather

I wouldn’t keep it out till the winter is over. I am in Ohio and i have kept mine near the glass door, so it gets sunlight.
