I'm a cold zone Rosemary fan too.
I was inspired by a shop owner in Shipshewana Indiana.
My husband and I were casually strolling through the business district during the late Fall (a couple years ago) when I saw 3 *huge* potted Rosemarys in a store front window!!
I dashed in and seized the person who appeared to be in charge. It was thestore owner, whose wife owned the potted monsters and could offer not advise and only complained about having the haul the big cumbersome things in and out twice a year. I didn't get any tips but decided then and there I was going to try and over winter Rosemary in the house. I think I even posted something about this on this forum, maybe back in 2004-05?? Anyway I have an un-named variety that appears to be some prostrate form and its still alive! It spends the summers on my kitchen porch which is a northeast exposure.
It grew and bloomed all summer.
This winter I freaked beause some of the older branches in the center of the plant died off. I thought maybe it was going to croak but the new branches have even been blooming recently. You might be able to see a few blossoms in this photo.
It in my coolish diningroom in an east window. I let it dry out before watering.
I plan to try and root some cuttings this year and pot up some more.
Love my Rosmary!
