Rosemary

Question

I have planted a hedge of Rosemary that is not very good. The plant leaves are turning yellow. Is it the soil or the plants? We have had a lot of rain recently, also I have put pine mulch on the plants which I fear may not have helped. Thank you.

Answer 1

If the soil is not draining well, then the rain is causing the problem. Rosemary needs well draining soil to grow well. If the soil is well draining, it could be that the plants are in shock (if you planted them in the past few weeks).
