Rosemary is an attractive perennial shrub with fragrant leaves. It has a wonderful aroma and piney taste, which goes well with meat, soups, and potatoes. This shrubby herb is a type of sage and grows well with other Mediterranean herbs, such as lavender and thyme. It has lovely blue flowers as well, attracting pollinators!
Drought-tolerant, rosemary grows best in warm areas. Can be grown in the ground or in a pot and will live for many years.
Plant in full sun in fast-draining soil; rosemary won’t tolerate being constantly wet. Ideally, the soil should be relatively fertile (mix in compost prior to planting to increase nutrient levels).
