Sun, sun, sun
Rosemary comes from the Mediterranean and is a true sun-worshipper!
Rosemary should get full sun throughout the day so, a south-facing site is best.
Rosemaries can tolerate a little shade but will have fewer flowers and less frequent flowers.
Soil with good drainage
Rosemary must have well-drained soil. It hates the wet.
To test drainage dig a hole 25cm square by about 25cm deep and then pour in about 2 litres of water. In well-drained soil the water should have gone after 15 minutes.
If water remains longer than this you may be better to grow your rosemary in a pot.
