- Plant in a location with well-draining soil and full sun to encourage healthy growth and oil production.
- Water regularly until the plant is established, then reduce watering as rosemary is drought-tolerant.

- Use rosemary leaves fresh or dried in cooking to add flavor to a variety of dishes.
- Protect from frost in colder climates, as rosemary is sensitive to extreme cold.
