How to Grow Fresh Herbs in the Garden

What You’ll Need to Grow Rosemary Plants:

  • Healthy Rosemary Clippings from Main Rosemary Plant
  • Small Jar or glass
  • Fresh Water

How to Grow Rosemary from Cuttings in Water:

  1. Cut Rosemary Clippings from your main rosemary plant.  {Be sure to cut clippings from the newer green growth.  Once the older growth develops a woodier stem, it will not sprout roots as easily.}
  2. Then remove leaves about half way up the clippings.
  3. Place stems in a small jar of water, and put in a well lit spot in your home.
  4. Change water to freshen it up every few days.
  5. After several weeks, roots should begin to sprout. {mine started around the two week point}
  6. Once you have a cluster of several strong roots, the clipping can be transplanted to a pot of dirt for your indoor herb garden, or outdoor herb garden.

    Yes, I have tried to root rosemary in water several times. Never have had them root but sure have had them die. I’m trying again right now. I wasn’t changing the water every few days, so maybe that’s why my success was better on the dying end than the rooting end. Glad I stumbled across your site. Thank you.

      Hi Nina ~ it really depends how cold your temperatures get in the Winter. Rosemary can tolerate mild winters, but doesn’t do well with freezing temperatures. One idea is to bring it inside for the Winter before the temperatures dip into the low 30’s. Hope that helps! 🙂

    Oh my goodness, I had no idea!!! I do grow green onions in water often, but then over time they get a little gross and the roots get really long. Will they grow outside if I put them in a pot? I am so going to try growing all of these herbs!

    Reply
    • Heidi says

      March 10, 2021 at 9:30 am

      Hi Danielle ~ yes, after growing those green onions in water a few times, you can absolutely plant up them outside and grow them in a pot! In Arizona, they grow really well in the late Fall, Winter and Spring, but will tend to bolt and try to go to seed in the hot Summer / early Fall months. During those times, you can just grow them inside in a pot, too. 🙂 Here are some tips for how I grow my green onions… hope this helps!

      You’re very welcome, CoCo! You won’t believe how simple it is to propagate your rosemary! If you’ve been having trouble with herbs, you could even try planting your new rosemary babies in different areas of your yard to find out where it really will thrive the best. Hope that helps… and have a lovely week! 🙂
