Pruning: Harvest regularly to promote bushier growth. Never remove more than 1/3 of the plant at once. Pinch off stem tips frequently.
Overwintering (Cold Climates): Bring potted rosemary indoors to a bright, cool (40–60°F) location. A sunny, unheated garage or porch can work. Water very sparingly.
Step 4: Harvest & Use for Wellness
Harvest: Snip sprigs as needed, ideally in the morning after dew dries when essential oils are peak.
For Memory & Focus: Use fresh or dried in:
Culinary Uses: Add to roasted vegetables, meats, bread, or infused oils.
Tea: Steep 1 tsp of dried leaves (or a 3-inch sprig fresh) in hot water for 10 minutes. Combine with lemon for a refreshing drink.
Aromatherapy: Simply crushing a sprig and inhaling its scent has been shown in studies (e.g., Therapeutic Advances in Psychopharmacology) to improve memory performance and alertness.
