Another dying Rosemary

[Nicos]

My gut feeling is the same as Snoop’s.
Rosemary likes, literally, just enough water to survive .

Heres an experience of mine….
My last uk allotment was right next to a large peat bog.
I planted a rosemary shrub and my experienced lotty neighbours told me it would never survive. In fact it flourished. I was very proud with the size it reached over a few years. Then we had a year of heavy rains and clearly the water table rose and the plant was dead within a matter of a couple of weeks.
The top layer of soil was very peaty and dried out quickly which it clearly enjoyed. It had set down deeper roots to try and find water and flourished, but once the whole lot got waterlogged it just died, and very quickly too.
Its a plant which will thrive in the correct environment as will most herbs.
Sorry, but I don’t think you pampered to its needs for it to survive, even though you clearly offered it a lot of care, it just wasn’t the care it truly needed.

Maybe try again but directly into your garden soil? I know you have a very limited area so that may not be possible. If not, then don’t waste your money - go for something which you know works for you.

The thing is I didn't overwater. The only reason the pot looks wet is because it was a last ditch attempt to revive it as it was indoors and looked to be dry and dying. I placed it outside in the rain.
