Rosemary is a notorious non-germinator, meaning that if you plant 200 seeds
you will end up with about 25 plants. Johnny's has a new variety that is
supposed to be much more reliable but which we can't use as it is not
organic seed. (have heard that its good, though as far as better
germination)


Talk to your certifier. If you can't find the specific variety as organic seed, and if you have a good reason to use the specific variety (your certifier might well think decent germination was a good enough reason) it might be OK to use it.
