I'm wondering why my Rosemary bush has never flowered. I understand they usually flower in late winter?


On plant Rosemary officianalis

Hello Jane my little sweetie..;0)...Should flower in spring and summer, perhaps your conditions are not tough enough...likes sun, dry sandy conditions.. is it a cultivated variety or just the plain species..?

I agree with Bs.
They thrive in poor soil conditions, in sun.
I have some and they have just that and they flower regularly, infact they flower on and off throughout the year :-/
Maybe it'd be an idea to incorporate some grit into their site or re-site them completely to a poor, sunbaked area, ?

Thanks both......it is a cultivated variety Steve, plenty of sun where it is, but the soil probably is too rich for it to make flowers. Its handy though near the kitchen as I use it a lot in cooking, instead of moving it Louise, I'll get another for down the garden.......:o)

Hah ! Good plan .... can never have too many plants, Janey ;-)

I've made a low hedge of the prostrate form, they're good for small places :-)

You might also be cutting it at the wrong time (presumably for use in the kitchen, if it's fairly small).

Yes, that's true Bamboo....I keep pruning it!
