Rosemary

Hi guys

Any tips on how to beef up a scraggly looking rosemary plant? We have one in quite a big container outside but it doesnt seem to be growing any fuller. Its been though a whole summer and winter here and isnt dying off but isnt looking as healthy as I'd like.

Thanks

Thanks very much Marlin! I'll get pruning then :)

Any tips on how much sun it needs to prosper?

I can't say about that, but the rosemary I have in my garden is doing just fine with the sun it is getting behind a shade cloth and the plastic covering for winter. It was however leaning toward my heat lamp, so I'm sure it'd appreciate a bit more sun than it is getting. My garden is in a sunny location though.

Aside that, I just cut a bunch off the plant for drying and gifting to my friend. It has done great for growth lately and filling out as well due to the cutting.

I literally have a hedge of rosemary in my front yard blocking some utility boxes. They started as herb-size. I watered for maybe a year but since then haven't done anything but trim when the hoa sent me a letter lol.....good luck
