📅 When to Plant Rosemary?

Rosemary (also known as Rosmarin) belongs to the Herbs category and is suitable for outdoor planting from Mid Spring onwards.

Use the Growing Temperature Sum (GTS) as a guide: Rosemary can be safely transplanted once the local GTS has passed the threshold for Mid Spring and no frost is expected. GrowPilot.guide calculates the current GTS for your location automatically.

🗓️ Tip: Always check the 10-day weather forecast before planting outdoors. The GTS is a helpful guide but does not replace a frost check for your specific area.

❄️ Frost Sensitivity & Protection

Rosemary tolerates light frost down to about −3°C. Extended cold periods or hard frosts are harmful. Once night temperatures stay above 2°C, it is safe to plant outdoors.

🌡️ Optimal Temperatures

Rosemary grows best at daytime temperatures between 12°C and 35°C. Night temperatures should not fall below 2°C.

🍄 Mold & Rain Tolerance

Rosemary is relatively robust against mold and tolerates wetter conditions well. Still, always avoid waterlogging.

Rain sensitivity: High – Prolonged rain can cause damage – protection with a film cover or roof overhang is recommended.
