moving rosemary
Hi we have quite a few rosemary shrubs and the wife tried to move one
recently and it just died. So I tried to move another to fill the gap and it too looks to be dying , even though I enriched the earth with a bit of multipurpose compost and also watered it well. Do the just not like being moved or is this just the wrong time of year to be doing it ? |

Do the just not like being moved or is this just the wrong time of year to be doing it ? Most things are best moved when they're dormant and Rosemary is not just now! The other thing is that they, like many other herbs, don't like over-rich soil or a lot of water. I'm afraid it looks as if they were battling with conditions that were just too stressful for them. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (email address on website) chalk another one off to experience It'll give me something else to grow for next year Is now a good time to be taking cuttings from my other Rosemaries and if so what's the best method to do this ? |

Now is a good time. Take a young 3" shoot which is torn off the parent plant leaving a 'heel'. Plant up in potting compost and keep at around 15C. You can either plant them round the edge of a pot, with say, 5 cuttings to a 1l pot, or if you have them, you can use plugs. Water from below but don't overdo it! Bear in mind when you plant them out into the garden that Rosemary likes fairly sandy, free-draining conditions and a lot of sun. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (email address on website) |
