If you buy a rosemary plant, plant it in a larger pot in the container it came in, otherwise the plant would just die.

I easily regrew herbs for a second harvest by letting them sit in water for a week or so. I had many watermelon+mint shakes last year! So if you mess up by putting the plants in the wrong spots, you can always try again through cuttings. :) I’m sure you already knew this, but herbs like thyme, or mint/basil, rosemary can be grown from cuttings!

I did an herb kit on my porch and I liked how it grew only because I knew it wasn't going to take up much space. http://nycgardening.blogspot.com/2010/08/herb-garden-update-part-3.html I agree with Robin that it depends on what you grow and with the amount of space.
