Hi Heather.

Rosemary requires excellent drainage and limited water. Also, as the plant ages, the base becomes woody and will drop some of the lower leaves.

I live in a very wet climate (south Louisiana) and learned the hard way (lost a half dozen or so plants) how to maintain my Rosemary plant. It is growing in a raised area with pea gravel added to the soil to improve drainage. The plant in the picture below is about 12 years old.
