I have yet to see a Rosemary of any kind, brought inside for winter, go without powdery
mildew. It is simply too humid in most homes for Rosemary. A sunny window, even southern
exposure, is still less sun than if you had it outside in the shade. They do not thrive
indoors.


I brought two inside for the winter and one looks like it's dead. Will
it come back next Spring? It seems had I left it outside in the cold it
would have fared a lot worse. I thought Rosemary was perennial. How do
you keep it going year after year if you don't bring it inside?



I keep mine outdoors and they are growing well. They keep their
leaves during the winter and don't mind freezing temperatures.
Indoors, you need to provide as much sunlight as possible and be
careful about overwatering. No fertilizer.
