How to Grow and Care for 'Huntington Carpet' Rosemary
Growing and caring for Rosmarinus officinalis 'Huntington Carpet' is a rewarding experience. Here are some guidelines to ensure successful cultivation:
- Location: Choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil for optimal growth. 'Huntington Carpet' rosemary can tolerate a wide range of soil conditions but prefers a slightly alkaline environment.
- Planting: Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball and place the plant, ensuring it is level with the surrounding soil. Space multiple plants at least 2-3 feet apart to allow for proper airflow.
- Watering: 'Huntington Carpet' rosemary is relatively drought-tolerant once established. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, and avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot.
- Pruning: Regular pruning helps maintain the compact shape of 'Huntington Carpet' rosemary and encourages bushier growth. Trim back after flowering or as needed to prevent legginess.
- Harvesting: As needed, pluck fresh leaves from the plant, preferably in the morning when the essential oils are at their peak. Enjoy the aromatic bounty in your culinary creations or drying for future use.
