I grow rosemary outside East side of the house (between
buildings) with a 60-65F daytime average because it can take
long dry spells! That's the type of climate I live in and
my rosemary grows in an area of the yard that isn't covered
by the sprinkling system.

Rosemary Hardiness
Question: Can I transplant my Rosemary Topiary to the
outdoors in my climate?
€”Marcia McCann, Massachusetts
Answer: Since most rosemary plants are only hardy down to
30°F (or USDA Zone 8), I wouldnt plant it permanently
outdoors in Massachusetts. You can grow it outside from late
spring to early fall, but move it indoors for the winter. To
keep your rosemary happy inside during the winter, grow it
in loads of full sun (6-8 hours) and keep it on the dry,
cool (60°F) side. For more information about rosemary, click
on Archives to the top right or left of this page, and
