Rosemary - Rosmarinus officinalis

Rosemary

Rosmarinus officinalis

This selection is the most aromatic and culinarily indispensable of all herbs: its needle-like leaves retain intense flavour and fragrance when dried, and its year-round evergreen structure and pale blue flowers make it equally ornamental in the garden.

  • Aromatic evergreen needle-like grey-green leaves are intensely flavoured both fresh and dried, the kitchen standard
  • Tiny pale blue to white flowers form on prior year's growth in early summer, attracting pollinators
  • Upright to rounded bushy form provides strong year-round structure in milder zones
  • Best as a container plant in Zone 8–9 climates; overwinter indoors in colder regions

Growing & Maintenance Tips
Rosmarinus officinalis  or rosemary grows best in an average to dry, well-drained soil, in full sun. Drought tolerant once established, it is not winter hardy in Ontario zones. It should be grown in containers that can be brought indoors and placed near a sunny window. Prune to encourage a dense habit or into specific shapes.
