Flowering
Pale blue flowers bloom in spring. Rosemary is primarily grown for its foliage.
Pinching
Pinch once, 5-10 days after transplanting.
Spacing
Space 4-inch containers as needed to allow airflow and penetration of light between plants. Rosemary Growflow Hafia can grow to a 24" spread. We do not recommend planting rooted plugs in 1801 or other traditional market trays as they tend to get leggy and can develop fungus when they have insufficient space.
Height Control
We do not recommend using chemical growth regulators on herbs or organic plants.
Pests
You may see spider mites or mealybugs. Rosemary is generally pest resistant.
Disease
Rosemary Growflow Hafia isn't disease prone but avoid oversaturating the soil. If the plant sits in moist soil at length, you could end up with root rot or botrytis. Botrytis grey rot tends to occur in wet or humid conditions. Take these steps to prevent botrytis: water in the morning and allow the plant to dry out between waterings; provide good airflow in your greenhouse; space plants so the sun can penetrate to the soil level. To best fight root rot in herbs, use an organic or garden-safe fungicide, like Neem Oil.
Planting Rosemary Growflow Hafia Liners
We recommend planting one rooted plug per 4-inch container. Use light, well-drained soil. Completely bury the ellepot in the center of the container.
Rooted Cuttings
Cuttings vary in size between different plant families. These rooted starter plants will arrive ready to be transplanted in to your final container. If they are to be used in a landscape application, you will need to establish them in a 4 inch pot or an 1801 before planting outside.
