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

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!

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..?
