Rosemary planting and care in the open field in the suburbs

Under natural conditions, rosemary grows on the Mediterranean coast, collecting all its scents. The aroma of this plant includes notes of lemon, pine and eucalyptus, as well as a subtle light breeze. But you can cultivate this exotic shrub not only on the seashore, but also at your dacha, for example, in the Moscow region, in order to end up with extraordinary spices.

Mediterranean culture is not only a spice that enriches the taste of culinary dishes, but also an evergreen, flowering shrub that can be planted in personal and summer cottages for decorative purposes. In this article we will try to figure out how to grow rosemary in the country in an open field.

Description and varieties of rosemary

The evergreen perennial is a relative of plants such as motherwort, lavender, lemon balm, mint and basil. Its few varieties sometimes reach from 0.5 to 2 meters in height. The leaves of this culture are needle-shaped, outwardly reminiscent of needles. Rosemary has rather small flowers that can be pink, white, bluish-purple in color. If you look at the plant in the photo or admire it from a great distance, then you can mistake it for a carpet.

In the nature of everything there are no more than 5 species of this wonderful shrub... Medicinal rosemary is considered the most popular of the five. However, it has several varieties. Among the most common in our country:

• Vishnyakovsky Semko;
• Tenderness;
• Dewdrop.

Foreign selection includes the following varieties:

• Albiflorus;
• Roseus;
• Prostratus;
• Severn Sea and others.

Rosemary: growing in the open field in the suburbs

It is necessary to choose a place for planting so that it is as illuminated as possible, but at the same time it has protection from strong drafts. The recommended type of soil is calcareous, but it should be sufficiently light and loose. Rosemary is a thermophilic culture, therefore, it is recommended to plant the plant outdoors only at that time of the year when the threat of night frosts has passed, then the rosemary will take root well and will not cause unnecessary care. The most favorable period for planting is the second half of May.

Landing features

If you want to grow large rosemary bushes, it is recommended to plant them at a distance of at least 0.5 m from each other. In all other cases, the minimum distance between crops, which is 10 cm, will be sufficient.After planting, it is imperative to water the shrubs.

Advice. Rosemary can grow in one place for several years. If it is necessary to uproot the plant in order to occupy this area with vegetables, it is recommended to plant garlic, onions or carrots in this place.

Culture care

Rosemary is considered a drought-resistant crop, but without proper watering, the plant will not live long. Necessary observe moderation when moistening the soil: with a moisture deficit, the plant will turn yellow, and with too much watering, it will get rid of excess leaves.

It is recommended to loosen the soil a little after each watering and be sure to remove the weeds. In April or even March, practice shaping the crown of the bush.In the event that your green pet is already more than 7-8 years old, you should definitely rejuvenate the bush. To do this, it must be cut to ground level.

All varieties of ornamental culture cannot stand the cold, so winter in the Moscow region turns out to be fatal for them. If you grow rosemary in central Russia, remember: it is impossible to fully care for this cultureif you do not follow the basic conditions for frost protection. The most reliable option is to dig up the plant and transplant it completely into a container for the winter. After that, the shrub is brought into a warm, light room, in which the air temperature should not fall below 16 ° C.

If this is not possible, then you need to cut it to the ground level of your green pet, then insulate the root system with mulch from a layer of dry leaves or sawdust. Reconciliation is recommended to additionally build a small dome made of coniferous branches.

Top dressing and fertilization

During the active growing season (spring-autumn), the plant must be fertilized regularly. Best fit mineral complex preparations, which will not be difficult to acquire in specialized stores. In the spring, rosemary needs mainly nitrogen fertilizers, and in the fall - in phosphorus.

Some summer residents like to use cow dung for fertilizing crops: organic matter is diluted with water in a ratio of 1: 5, but this should be done at your own peril and risk, since even a small overdose of organic fertilizers can have a detrimental effect on the health of the crop.

Reproduction methods

Nature provides four ways of propagation of decorative culture:

• seminal;
• layering;
• cuttings;
• dividing the bush.

Most preferred method propagation of rosemary is cuttingsbecause it is highly reliable and has already been tested by many gardeners. In addition, it will not be difficult to master it:

• We cut segments from annual shoots in the fall, the length of which should be from 8 to 10 cm. Each of these segments should have at least 3-4 internodes.
• We remove all the lower leaves. We process the resulting sections with brilliant green, and the lower cut must be left for several hours in a root formation stimulator.
• After that, it remains only to place the cuttings in water for rooting or immediately in fertile soil. Also, the cutting takes root well in loose river sand.
• Remember to provide proper conditions and care: daily spraying, suitable temperature, no direct sunlight.

The first roots on young shoots will appear in about 30 days. After that, they will need to be seated in separate containers, each of such containers should not exceed 10 cm in diameter. After a week, maximum 10 days, we pinch the tops - this activates the branching process.

Dividing the bush - a slightly more complex method, which is mainly used for indoor rosemary.

The other two methods can be safely used for open ground. In the presence of sowing material (seeds) it will first need to be placed in water for several hours in order for the seeds to swell well. Then we sow them to a depth of 3-4 cm in wet sand, after which we cover them with foil or glass to form a greenhouse effect. Do not forget to spray future seedlings daily, as well as wipe accumulated condensation from the glass. Seedlings should be kept in warm conditions at temperatures between 22 ° C and 25 ° C.

With proper care, the sprouts should hatch in a month and a half, maximum in two. As soon as this happens, remove the film and place the containers with young plants in a well-lit place.

Do not forget about regular watering, which need well-settled water... The seedlings will be ready for planting in open ground as soon as they reach a height of 7-8 centimeters, but if it is possible to hold them longer in room conditions, then be sure to use it.

Reproduction by layering as follows:

• We tilt the shoot that grows closest to the ground, securing it in this position with metal brackets or a large stone.
• We dig in the layers with earth on top, leaving only its top free.
• This shoot must be watered together with the mother bush.
• As soon as the tip begins to grow upward, it is necessary to separate the layers from the parent plant and plant them in a container or garden bed.

Harvesting

Harvesting is most advisable during the flowering period of the plant. This time is famous for the fact that the perennial accumulates a fairly large amount of essential oils for it.

The most valuable product is considered common (medicinal) rosemary leaf... In cooking, both fresh fragrant flowers and dried leaves, which roll up in the form of a tube, can be used.

The tops of the plant look elegant, which are great as a decoration when serving dishes, while the rest of the leaves are dried in the shade in order to make various spices from them. Even dried and crushed leaves have an incomparable smellthat persists for several years. And in order to extend this period, it is recommended to store the seasoning in hermetically sealed containers made of glass.

Use in cooking and medicine

Rosemary's flavors include lemon, ether, pine and camphor.

Eating foods that have been prepared with the participation of a perennial is extremely healthy, because rosemary is capable of:

• strengthen memory;
• stimulate the circulatory system;
• calm a person down;
• tone the entire body.

The main sources of benefits are camphor, resins, and essential oils.

Rosemary is also able to provide other positive effects through its unique chemical composition:

• expectorant;
• diuretic;
• anti-inflammatory;
• antispasmodic.

That is why now, as in the past, infusions, decoctions and teas made on the basis of rosemary leaves and other parts of this medicinal plant are very popular.

Diseases and pests

It is surprising that the plant has enormous resistance in the open field to various pests and insects. Most summer residents believe that this "immunity" is directly related to the strong aromathat comes from the bush. The smell of this culture is able to scare off most pests, which are difficult to deal with when they infect other crops: aphids, snails, slugs, spider mites, etc. open ground for rosemary.

Note! If you don't grow rosemary outdoors, but, for example, at home on a windowsill, be prepared for the plant to need your protection from powdery mildew or whitefly.

Combining rosemary with other crops

When choosing a site for growing rosemary, you can stop at the place next to which are planted hot peppers, onions, carrots, various varieties of cabbage, curly beans, peas and other legumes. There are many good options. Rosemary has a beneficial effect on the growth of vegetable crops and improves their taste. Also, do not forget the fact that if you plant this ornamental plant around the perimeter of the site, then aphids, whiteflies, slugs and other pests will never make their way inside, where the rest of the vegetable crops grow. It is worth avoiding joint planting only with cucumbers, which do not tolerate being close to fragrant herbs.

> Rosemary is a difficult exotic ornamental plant that can be easily propagated and grown both outdoors and at home on a windowsill. The spice will be useful for many diseases.... And also the plant has become widespread in the field of cosmetology when creating hair and skin care products.

This scented herb can be added to a wide variety of culinary ideas. Recipes for such dishes can be found in large quantities with photographs on thematic sites on the Internet or in cookbooks. Most harmonious rosemary goes well with different types of cheeses, but the combination with red vegetables is not always successful. Such a huge number of advantages of this plant is nothing more than a good incentive for planting and growing various varieties of rosemary in your country house.

How to properly grow a shrub in the suburbs

Don't forget that rosemary comes from warm places. Therefore, it is better not to rush to plant it in open ground.

It is necessary to wait for warm, stable weather. Rosemary will not survive freezing. The end of May is perfect, then your plant will take root well.

The higher you want the bushes, the further you plant them from each other. The optimal distance is up to half a meter. If you want small cute bushes, 10 cm will be enough.

Note: when choosing a place, pay attention that there are no drafts!

Choose a place that is as bright as possible. This plant loves the sun. The soil for rosemary needs loose, light, preferably calcareous.

If you decide to grow a shrub from seeds, then their planting should be read in February. The seeds are immersed in the soil just a couple of millimeters.

Try to keep the temperature at 200C. Don't let it drop below 120C. Don't overdo it with watering! The soil should be moist, but not wet!

Advice: the easiest way is to plant a potted plant purchased in advance in open ground. Its survival rate is much better.

When the shoots are formed, prepare them for future transplantation and plant them in special pots. Ordinary plastic bottles can be used.

Landing in open ground

1. We make holes 30-40 cm deep. At a distance of 10-50 cm (depending on the height of the bush you plan to grow).
2. It is useful to add a couple of tablespoons of crushed chalk to the hole. This plant loves calcareous soil.
3. You can add a little neutralized peat to the ground with which you will cover the plant.This will make the soil looser.
4. Carefully take the plant out of the pot (without damaging the root system) and plant it in the hole.
5. We fill it with soil and lightly tamp it with our hands.
6. Water the plant abundantly with warm water.
7. We cover for 5 days with plastic wrap until rooting is complete.

If it gets colder outside, then it is better not to remove the film until it gets warmer.

Care

Rosemary is a low-maintenance plant. He is not susceptible to disease. Due to the specific smell, pests bypass it.

The shrub does not like waterlogged, flooded soil. Therefore, additional watering is organized only during the drought period.

Gardener tip: if possible, try to plant bushes next to an open reservoir or in places where groundwater occurs.

The plant needs to carry out loosening of the soil in the first years of life. It is necessary to loosen the soil after watering, so a soil crust will not form.

Remove all weeds while loosening! Fertilize rosemary with organic fertilizers. Compost and rotted mullein are great. Fertilization is carried out annually in the summer.

Rosemary is a perennial plant. To help him overwinter in the Moscow region, it is necessary to dig him up for the winter and plant in a prepared tub until next spring. So you will definitely be sure that the roots will not freeze.

Take a note: to prepare a plant for the winter, you can not only dry it, but also freeze it.

Fresh and dried rosemary sprigs are used for medicinal and culinary purposes. You can collect them at any time. This will not harm the plant, but only help it grow even better.

Reproduction methods

There are four ways rosemary can be propagated:

1. Seeds.
2. Cuttings.
3. Taps.
4. Division of the bush.

How to propagate plants by seeds has been described above. Let's dwell on the other methods in more detail.

In September or October it is necessary to cut cuttings 8-10 cm long with 3-4 internodes. The lower part is cleaned of leaves, dipped in a rooting stimulator, and planted in light, well-drained soil. Better to put in a warm place protected from direct sunlight!

It is important: it is necessary to spray the cuttings daily before the first leaves appear.

After the leaves appear, the upper leaves must be pinned for branching. The lowest shoot of the plant is lowered as low as possible to the ground. Fix and lightly drop, leaving the top on the surface.

Water the branch more often than the bush. When you notice that the plant has grown roots, you can dig up and transplant it into a pot or other place. Most often used for propagation of potted plants.

When transplanting, the bush is divided, the cut points are treated with crushed coal and planted in pots. So do not be afraid and be sure to plant this wonderful shrub on your personal plot!

Advice. A shrub can grow in one place for many years. If you want to uproot it and occupy this area with vegetables, plant carrots, onions, garlic after rosemary.

Culture care

Rosemary is a drought-resistant crop, but it will not live long without watering. Observe moderation: with abundant moisture, the plant will begin to get rid of the leaves, with a lack of moisture, it will turn yellow. After watering, loosen the soil and remove weeds. In March-April, practice the formation of the bush. If your rosemary is around 7-8 years old, rejuvenate the shrub by pruning it to soil level.

The varieties of this decorative culture do not like the cold, so winter in the Moscow region can be destructive for them. If you live in central Russia, remember: full care of exotic rosemary is impossible without protecting it from frost. The surest way is to dig up the plant, transplant it into a container for the winter and bring it into a bright room, the temperature in which does not drop below +16 oC. If this is not possible, cut the rosemary to ground level and cover with sawdust or leaves. On top, build a small dome of coniferous branches.

The culture needs to be fed regularly

Fertilizing and feeding rosemary

During the active growing season (from spring to autumn), the plant needs regular fertilization. Complex mineral preparations are suitable. The frequency of their introduction is twice a month.

Advice. In winter, rosemary can be dispensed with. If you think that the plant needs fertilizers, apply them no more than 1 time in 1-1.5 months.

Plant propagation by cuttings and other methods

Nature has provided 4 ways to propagate ornamental shrubs:

• dividing the bush;
• cuttings;
• layering;
• using seeds.

Cutting is the most reliable and proven method by many gardeners. It's easy to master it:

Rosemary cuttings

1. In autumn, cut 8-10 cm lengths from annual shoots. Each should have 3-4 internodes.
2. Remove the bottom leaves. Treat the lower cuts with a rooting agent.
3. Place the cuttings in water, river sand, or loose, fertile soil.
4. Provide suitable conditions and care:

• lack of direct rays of the sun;
• warmly;
• daily spraying.

The cuttings will take root in about a month. After that, plant them in separate containers, the diameter of which does not exceed 10 cm. After a week, pinch the tops to activate branching.

Reproduction by dividing the bush is used mainly for indoor rosemary. Two other methods can be used outdoors. If you have seeds, place them in water for a few hours to swell. Then sow in wet sand to a depth of 0.3-0.4 mm and cover with foil. Spray future seedlings regularly and keep them warm (about + 22 ... + 25 C).

With this care, the sprouts will hatch in 1.5-2 months. After that, remove the film and place the containers closer to the light. Do not forget about watering with settled water.Rosemary will be ready for outdoor planting when it reaches a height of 7-8 cm.

Reproduction by layering looks like this:

1. A shoot that grows close to the ground is tilted and secured in this position.
2. The layering is added dropwise, leaving only the top free.
3. The shoot is watered along with the entire bush.
4. When the tip begins to grow, the layers are separated and planted in a garden bed or container.

Diseases and pests of culture

Surprisingly, but true: in open ground, the plant is extremely resistant to most ailments and insects. Some summer residents believe that good "immunity" is associated with the strong aroma that the shrub exudes. After all, the smell of this culture even scares off some pests: slugs, snails, aphids. Whatever it was, but this indisputable advantage greatly facilitates the care of rosemary.

Attention! If you are growing a crop not outdoors, but on a windowsill, be prepared to protect it from whitefly and white powdery mildew.

Rosemary: Combination with Other Plants and Applications

To grow this fragrant perennial, you can pick up a site next to which curly beans and other legumes, different varieties of cabbage, carrots, onions, and hot peppers are planted. There are many options for successful combinations. Rosemary improves the taste of vegetable crops and has a beneficial effect on their growth. It is worth avoiding unless joint planting with cucumbers, which, in principle, do not like the neighborhood of fragrant herbs.

Rosemary is not just an exotic ornamental plant that can be cultivated and propagated in the open field or on a windowsill. It is useful for many diseases, and is also widely used by cosmetologists to create skin and hair care products. They add this fragrant culture to a variety of dishes. Their recipes with photos can always be found in cookbooks or thematic sites. Its combination with cheese is considered especially harmonious, but the combination with red vegetables turns out to be unsuccessful. A large number of advantages are a good incentive for planting and breeding different varieties of rosemary in your summer cottage.

The Mediterranean plant rosemary is not only a spice that enriches the taste of culinary dishes, but also flowering evergreen bushes that adorn a summer cottage or garden plot. How to properly grow this perennial in the open field, we will consider in this article.

How to grow correctly

It is possible to grow a bushy perennial, which feels great in the Mediterranean climate (dry hot summers and wet cool winters), and in other climatic zones. The main thing is to do it right. The fragrant bush is very demanding on lighting and heat. And, although a plant that is more than three years old can tolerate frosts down to -15 degrees, it dies with a further decrease in temperature. In order for rosemary to please the eye for many years in a mixborder or in a green fence, a number of factors must be taken into account:

• the soil for its cultivation should be loose and dryish (excessive moisture and drying out are excluded, the soil can be any, but not acidic, preferably lime);

• moderate air humidity;
• requires periodic watering, without over-wetting the soil;
• shade and wind negatively affect rosemary.

Planting and leaving

Planting a perennial in open ground is carried out using cuttings, layering, seeds - according to the standard scheme of 50x50 cm.This usually occurs in late spring after the end of frost, when it is warm enough - in early to mid-May. A perennial will feel good when, in moderately moist, loose soil, there will be: sand, deciduous-sod land and a little humus (1: 4: 2).Before planting it, it is necessary to moderately moisten the soil by placing cuttings, layering or seeds to a depth of 0.4 (for seeds) - 4 (for layering and cuttings) centimeters, sprinkling with loose soil. The place should be well lit.

The spicy bush does not require any special care, it is not susceptible to diseases, pests also bypass it (apparently because of the aroma). It must be watered regularly and moderately, but not overmoisten the soil. If the leaves begin to turn yellow, it means that there is not enough moisture. If the plant sheds leaves, it means, on the contrary, an excess of moisture.

By these signs, you can navigate how much water is required for irrigation. Weed and loosen, like any other flowers, rosemary is also necessary. Top dressing is optional, but to make it look beautiful, you can use a complex mineral and organic fertilizer containing phosphorus and nitrogen once a month. In the spring - watering with nitrogen fertilizers (they perfectly strengthen the root system), in the fall - with phosphorus fertilizers.

Old bushes are rejuvenated every 7 years, cutting off in March-April to the soil level - this is how new beautiful shoots are formed. After the flowering of a young bush, you can additionally cut off the shoots up to 3 cm (end of summer) to strengthen them during the growth process. A perennial wintering in a summer cottage or a personal plot in the Moscow region must be covered so that it does not die out. For this, cuttings of spruce branches, pointed at the ends, are stuck around the bushes at a slight angle, thus constructing a protective "tent". Additionally, cover with a layer of dry leaves. Some summer residents transplant rosemary into pots for the winter and transfer it to a cool and bright room (it is possible to store it in the basement, sprinkling the roots with earth, but sufficient lighting must be provided). At the same time, you should be aware that a plant grown in an open field is unlikely to survive and adapt to new conditions if it is transplanted into a pot as a permanent container culture.

An informative video with helpful tips for gardeners.

Propagation by cuttings

Of the cuttings, the cultivation of a perennial is the most reliable, especially since an adult plant is easily cut by cuttings. Cut and place the cuttings in a vessel with water or in river sand, covering with a jar or cling film on top to ensure a comfortable microclimate. When the roots appear (after 3-5 weeks), the leaves are removed from the lower part of the cutting and planted in small containers (up to 10 cm in diameter), placing them in a warm, bright place. The plant can be sprayed to prevent the soil from drying out completely. Before planting, it will be useful to dip the root of the cutting into a solution with a rooting preparation.

In addition, you need to pinch the top of the sprouts, which contributes to the development of a strong root system and branching. Interestingly, perennials can even be grown from cuttings bought at the supermarket. In this case, the top is used as a seasoning, and the main branch is planted in the ground, placing the container in a bright, warm place and watering it regularly. The growing branches are pinched.

We breed rosemary with layering

The cultivation of a spicy bush and layering has proven itself well. To do this, you need to find the lower shoot of the plant, which can be bent to the ground, and bury it. As soon as the top of the shoot sprouts, carefully cut off the sprout from the main branch and, after carefully digging it out, transplant it into a separate container. It is important to know that cuttings and cuttings should not be planted immediately in a large container, since the soil that has not been mastered by the roots can acidify, which is detrimental to the plant.

Seed planting

It is possible to grow a spicy perennial from seeds, which are easy to purchase at a flower shop. The seeds can be pre-soaked to speed up their riveting. They are sown in pots to a depth of 0.3-0.4 cm, lightly sprinkling with sand on top.The ground must always be slightly moistened - for this, the container is covered with foil or glass, thus creating a constant microclimate. In this case, the air temperature should be + 12 + 20 degrees. In about a month, seedlings will appear - they must be dived in a timely manner in a 6x6 cm container.

The soil composition for growing a plant should be loose and include: leafy, humus soil, coarse sand (2: 1: 2), peat should not be added. Of course, growing rosemary from seeds is a rather lengthy process, and it will take more than one year until it turns into a large fluffy bushy bush.

Outdoor cultivation

In order for the cultivation of a spicy bush on the site to be successful, the following points must be remembered:

1. Basic basic conditions: sun, good drainage and air circulation. It is necessary to plant strong shoots (emerging from seeds, cuttings or cuttings) in a well-lit area.
2. Rosemary does not bloom next to a rose, and generally does not tolerate such a neighborhood (a young plant begins to bloom in the second or third year).
3. He does not like drafts, therefore, it is preferable to grow perennials near the walls of buildings, which will become protection from winds and drafts.
4. It develops well on the southern and eastern slopes (dry and open).
5. Does not require spraying. If the foliage dries up, it is necessary to shade the bushes a little from the direct rays of the sun in the morning or in the afternoon.
6. Does not tolerate damp and acidic soils.
7. During the growth period, it requires regular watering (you can use tap water to moderate soil moisture).

Don't be discouraged if you can't grow beautiful rosemary the first time. Just try again, taking into account all the tips in this material. I wish you success!
