A friend gave me a large, woody rosemary plant, which I planted in my yard last summer. Do I dig it up and bring it inside to a cool room, or should I keep it where it is? Should I mulch it? |
Rosemary is generally hardy to about 15 degrees F. It's a tough shrub, but won't survive your winter weather unless you protect it. To be on the safe side, if it's not too large, transplant it to a container and bring it inside, next to a sunny window. It needs well drained soil and frequent watering, and will do best near a humidifier. When the weather warms in spring you could take it out to a porch or deck. |
