April 2, 2011Q.What Is ‘Well Draining Potting Medium’
I have a mature rosemary bush that is overgrowing its space and when I planted it, I didn't realize how big it would get! It is blocking the light to other smaller herbs, so I decided to put it in a pot. When I looked up the best way to do this, the suggestion of taking a cutting to propagate seemed easiest for a novice like me. However, I'm not sure I understand the term "in a well draining potting medium. " Does this relate to the soil, or the container?

Certified ExpertA.It is soil where the water will run mostly out. This is normally done with a 2:1 mix of potting soil and either sand or vermiculite.

April 3, 2011Q.Is My Rosemary Plant Dead?
Hello, I'm not sure whether my 3-year-old Rosemary bush has died. The branches are very brittle, but fragrant. I'm not seeing any new growth yet. My plant is as large as a shrub and in a rock garden where it gets early sun. I love it, and I hope it's not dead. Thanks! Paula

April 9, 2011A.sounds like it is dead to me but what zone do you live in? Mine lives for several years then a heavy snow year seems to kill it/break it but I live in a moderate but wet climate on the west coast zones 5/6 & my rosemary usually grows year round. Cut it way back & see if new growth appears & if not time to get a new one.

May 12, 2011Q.How Can You Tell What Kind of Rosemary Plant You Have
I was able to get a Rosemary herb plant and I don't know what kind it is. All the tag says on it is Rosemary under the name. It also says Rosmarinus officinalis, and I don't know what that means. Does it matter what rosemary plant helps with headaches?

has a weeping growth. But rosemary is rosemary, you can use it in your hot bath, fill you tub and put a bunch of fresh cut rosemary.
it will ease your fatigue and pains.

it was a bath foam with rosemary.Was this answer useful?00 - Asked by

May 14, 2011Q.Rosemary Bush
I have a bush/hedge growing in the back of my house that looks and smells like rosemary but does not bloom purple flowers. Could it be a different type of plant even though it smells like rosemary.

Certified ExpertA.What color does it bloom, or does it? There are many types of rosemary, so it is definitely possible that this could be another variety. This article may help you determine what you have: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/herbs/rosemary/rosemary-plant-varieties.htm
