Ask for rosemary cuttings from a friend’s rosemary bush to grow this shrubby herb.

STEP 1

Snip 15-20cm from the top of a vigorous shoot using sharp, clean secateurs.

STEP 2

Strip the lower leaves, then dip the cut end into root-promoting hormone gel or powder.

STEP 3

Fill a small pot with seed-raising or sieved potting mix. Insert the cutting to just below the leaves. Firm in.

STEP 4

Gently water and put in a warm, bright spot. Keep moist and, when roots form in about six weeks, carefully transplant into the garden or a larger pot.
