What is the best month to plant rosemary?

In Australia, spring is the ideal time to plant rosemary, as the warmer weather promotes healthy root establishment. Planting in spring allows rosemary to settle before summer heat or winter's cooler temperatures. You might even find prices reduced in spring sales, making it a great time to add this herb to your garden.

Does rosemary like full sun or shade?

Rosemary prefers full sun, which helps it maintain a dense and healthy form. While it can tolerate partial shade, it may grow more leggy and less aromatic in lower light conditions. Therefore, it is not a great option for an indoor herb garden.
