Description

Rosemary Cone Cone Shape is a carefully trained topiary of culinary rosemary prized for its crisp, architectural silhouette and invigorating, resinous fragrance.

In bright light, this Mediterranean evergreen rewards you with dainty lavender‑blue blooms that delight pollinators. It’s a standout for patios and entryways, a handsome accent in formal or modern gardens, and a practical kitchen companion for snipping fresh sprigs year‑round in mild climates.

Care Tips

Planting InstructionsUse a pot with ample drainage. Tease circling roots, set the crown level with the soil, and backfill with a fast‑draining mix. Water to settle and stake gently if needed to keep the cone upright. Acclimate to full sun over 7–10 days.
Soil MoistureLet the top 1–1.5 in of soil dry between waterings, then water thoroughly and drain. Avoid standing water in saucers; water less in winter.
Soil TypeFast‑draining, sandy or gritty mix. Try ~60% high‑quality potting soil + 30% coarse perlite/pumice + 10% compost; pH 6.5–7.5 is ideal.
HumidityPrefers low to average humidity (30–50%). Provide airflow; avoid misting, which can encourage foliar disease indoors.
Pruning InstructionsPinch or lightly shear new growth every 3–6 weeks in the growing season to maintain the cone. Trim after flowering. Do not cut into hard, leafless wood.
Winter CareZones 8–10: protect from cold, soggy soils; avoid overwatering. Colder zones: overwinter indoors in the brightest, coolest room (45–60°F nights). Shield from hard freezes and drying winds.
Planting DepthSet the crown exactly at soil level; never bury stems. Leave ~1 in of headspace at the rim of containers for clean watering.
FertilizationLight feeder. Apply a balanced organic fertilizer at half strength monthly from spring to mid‑summer. Avoid high nitrogen to preserve flavor and tight growth.
Special CareRotate the pot 1/4 turn weekly for even form. Repot every 1–2 years in early spring. Watch for spider mites, aphids, and scale; ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot. Provide 6–8 hours of direct sun (or 14–16 hours under strong grow lights).
