wilting rosemary

18 years ago

I bought a lovely rosemary plant from a nursery several months ago and for quite some time it was doing quite well. However, I've been noticing that many of the "needles" are turning a grayish color and wilting. I don't believe I'm over watering it and there doesn't seem to be any insect attacking it, but I can't, for the life of me, determine what the problem is. Could it be some kind of mildew/fungus?

I've had rosemary do that as well. While it is a plant that doesn't need a lot of care, and can take full sun, sometimes...it needs more water, and sometimes it needs a little shade during the hottest part of the day.

Other than that, sometimes....they just die.
