New Rosemary

A good healthy plant, by the looks of it. It might be a shame to keep it in a pot. They don't grow all that quickly.
I like the stool--how useful.

Good purchases :o)

Have had my Rosemary for years Alex hasn't got ver big at all, i just clip it every year to keep in shape. Lovely when they flower pretty lilac flowers and the bees love it

There are different types of rosemary ... mine is like a climber ... almost all the way up a 6 ft fence...lol..

I have Miss Jessops Upright. It can grow to 2m x 2M but I keep it cut to fit the space it has and I use a lot of it. For a headache chew some leaves and it will help. Lovely with roast Lamb and Pork and I put some in my roasted veg. I do not cut it up small just bruise it a bit and put the whole stem in. I remove it before serving. It also goes well with venison, any cut. That looks like a great buy. I did not know Wilkinsons did such big plants. I would imagine it has been in a sheltered environment so I would keep it in the pot inside or near the house in a sheltered position. If you want it in the garden do not plant it out until about April/May. We have one of those kneeler and it was a good buy. So handy for older people who have difficulty getting up.

It will have to stay in the pot, because I have no room at all in the beds. also, I think it needs a bigger pot, as it seems to be top heavy, as again it is on its side this morning. I am still slightly suspicious, as when I cam home from dinner out in the evening around 7pm, it was still upright, but it seems to "fall" overnight.

I have updated the Rosemary picture, as I needed top replant it in to a bigger pot to stop it faling or being knocked over.

Enjoy your rosemary, I'm sure you will.
I have grown one for many years now, love using it with roast lamb and also brushing my hands through it to increase the smell from it each time I walk by. I had to replace mine last year, the original didn't survive that winter so I over-wintered the new one in the greenhouse this year.

Does rosemary last for years, or will it need replacing every few years?

I bought it mainly for foliage and Summer flowering.

It will last for years but just in case why not take a few cuttings. This can be done anytime. See the site below for instructions. Rosemary is from the mint family so it roots very easily. http://www.newworldseedcompany.com/articles/rosemarycuttings.htm

O.K, thanks Scotsgran.
