Rosemary
This is general guidance. Adjust watering and care for your home's light, temperature, humidity, potting mix, container, and season.
The rosemary lives in a terracotta pot right at the foot of the hive, which means its early blue flowers are often the bees’ first forage of the season. After four years it’s a proper woody shrub. The only real challenge in our zone is winter — rosemary isn’t reliably hardy through a New Jersey cold snap, so the pot comes into the garage when the temperatures drop and goes back out in spring.
