Comments (5)I did a brief search and the only seeds I saw for sale were from Territorial Seed Co, (they're a good company), but they're sold out. I read somewhere that they don't grow well from seed. But maybe if you search more you can find something. Arp is the name of the town in Texas where the plant originally came from. Also try Seed Savers Exchange. They preserve heirloom seeds so I don't know if they'd have it, but it's worth a try. It might not be legal to bring seeds from here to your country -- do you know? Good luck....See Moreputting rosemary outdoors for the summer
Comments (15)Thanks for the input, everyone. For all of you wondering what I decided to do, let me fill you in. First of all, the rosemary has been outside in last year's pot (the one it over-Wintered in) for about a month or so. I noticed the other day that it looks a little healthier now, with some new growth, so I think the outdoors has been good fore it. I got a larger terra cotta pot than the one it's been in, and re-potted it with everyday potting mix (Pro-Mix, as it turns out). I also mixed some Gardens Alive! herb fertilizer into the new soil. After re-potting, I sank the pot up to the rim in the herb garden. The new growth, consisting of lots of new little tips coming out of the crooks of leaves, has given me a lot of hope. This growth looks strong, and the makings of a nice bushy plant. I now have high hopes that a good Summer outdoors will do well for my sad (yet alive!) little rosemary plant. Thanks again, all....See Moreeibren
