# Anyone have any experience sprouting rosemary? I have seeds I bought…

Anyone have any experience sprouting rosemary?  
I have seeds I bought and its summer, I want a herb for my room, I do of course have access to full sun. Only problem is if it is too much trouble to even get one to sprout… I know Perennials are the hardest to grow and I dont even know if I have gotten some progress in sprouting some, I tried the paper towel ziplock method with a little hydrogen peroxide for mold in the fridge to stratify since it is perennial and so far its been unnoticable if I have gotten a sprout, kinda just waiting now. I live in Texas and I have seen them grow into really inpressive bushes before in my childhood, I would just like to be able to get started on that path at the very least.  
Any plant starting advice is appreciated, and if I am just doing too much I would love to be let known, thanks!!

Before the rosemary, I was able to sprout a basil plant however from a couple seeds which is exciting.

rosemary is darn impossible to keep alive inside, you’d do better with a mint or another type of basil (amethyst basil has all purple leaves and tastes amazing!) the only herb from the rosemary / sage / lavender family i have been able to grow inside is french lavender. my dutch lavender (lavendula), rosemary, and sage all keep dying inside.

I can keep it outside while it grows for sure, that is not a worry.
