Default rosemary

Every summer I grow rosemary in a pot outside. When the weather turns
cold, I bring the pot inside. The plant does well for a couple more
months, then dies every time. (One time it bloomed, then died.) What
can I do?


Water less.

It's a mediterrannean plant, home on the slopes of sunny mountains; it
CANNOT take standing water.

Also, depending on where you are, you might want to get a rosemary
variety called 'Arp' -- that one can take hard frosts, and you could
then skip the indoor bit.
