Rosemary

A few weeks back I realised all the leaves at one side had died and I just cut out the bad bits and hoped for the best because there were no clues. (When I say ''one side' I suppose its the top really because it has always sprawled over to that side) Examining the garden now the snow has cleared I see the rest of it has gone very pale and hopeless looking. Can they regrow from old wood? Suppose I cut it right back almost to the trunk? I have always thought of Rosemary as a really tough plant and its only about a dozen or so years old. Rosemary is a short-lived plant in rich soils and wet conditions. Some people can keep it going; with others it dies after 5-10-15 years. It is also not all that hardy. I have lost all of the rosemaries that I planted last spring around a drain cover, due to a combination of getting a bit overgrown by a passion flower and the cold winter. A pity, because they were a good blue. I shall have to repeat with a hardier form. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
