Growing: Rosemary is a naturally drought tolerant plant. One of the easiest ways to kill it outdoors is over watering or overly rich soil. Rosemary actually prefers sandier, well drained soil. However, when in a pot it cannot sprawl its roots out as it prefers. You must keep the soil for a potted rosemary plant moist. If it dries out entirely, there is little chance of salvaging it. It is reported that it also really loves seaweed water.
