Plant in full to part sun in most any soil type and irrigate regularly to occasionally. For best maintenance cut back two thirds in early November. This is a great geranium for use in a mass planting, for cascading over a wall, or in a container. And the flowers are attractive to hummingbirds.

Pelargonium 'Rosemary' is a 2019 introduction as part of Geranium breeder Jay Kapac's Blood on the Tracks series so named for the song "Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts" on Bob Dylan's Blood on the Tracks album. See also our listings for 'Lily' and 'Jack of Hearts'. These plants are categorized as the Unique Pelargonium type, which is a catchall name for Pelargonium cultivars that don't fit elsewhere. This hybrid has Regal Pelargonium lineage (such as the Martha Washington Geranium) in their parentage and might alternatively be considered this type. The advantage of these hybrids over the Regals is that they are much more heat tolerant, so bloom a lot later in the season than the Regal Type, which peaks in May, around Mother's Day. Pelargonium 'Rosemary' won Best of Show at the 2019 Geranium Society of Los Angeles's Show – the second picture is of this winning entry.

Every time I see this plant I think about the words of Bob Dylan's song – "Rosemary combed her hair and took a carriage into town. She slipped in through the side door lookin' like a queen without a crown. She fluttered her false eyelashes and whispered in his ear "Sorry, darlin', that I'm late, " but he didn't seem to hear. He was starin' into space over at the Jack of Hearts".
