10 herbs you should NEVER plant near rosemary

Cilantro is an herb that prefers cooler temperatures and more moisture than rosemary. It can quickly bolt in warm weather, leading to a decline in leaf production. When planted near rosemary, cilantro’s need for frequent watering can create overly damp conditions, increasing the risk of fungal diseases for rosemary.

To avoid these issues, plant cilantro in a separate area of the garden where it can enjoy the cooler, moister conditions it prefers.

Chives are a hardy herb that can grow in a variety of conditions, but they prefer more moisture than rosemary. When planted together, chives’ need for frequent watering can create overly damp conditions for rosemary, increasing the risk of root rot and fungal diseases.

Additionally, chives can form dense clumps that compete for space and nutrients. To keep both herbs healthy, plant chives in a separate area of the garden where their watering needs can be met without affecting rosemary.
