Rosemary~! what to do with plant over the winter? - mrbigstuff - 11-13-2012
I live in Zone 5b and can't seem to get my rosemary to survive inside. If you take your plant indoors, when do you do it?

It should already be inside. Pretty hard to keep them alive without a greenhouse. You might be better off just getting a new one in the spring.

i have one I bought and never had outside. Just sits on a window sill, I've had it for two years. You have to remember to water them every couple-three days

We plant external heaters over the backyard hammocks and lounges, the fire pit takes care of the rest.

Why blue? Wouldn't white be better?

Whatever you do, don't baby it.

I've lost several rosemary plants (big ones) during winters, yet my daughter-in-law only 40 miles away in Seattle has never lost hers. Not sure why.. except that she's close to the water and I am about a half-hour away.

Rosemary seems to grow like a weed here in Sacramento. People prune them into hedges.
Temperatures get as low as the upper teens/low twenties, and yes we get frost.
So, I think that Rosemary is little bit more hardy than people think.
