Rosemary 140MM

Rosmarinus officinalis

I am Rosemary. My family originated from the Mediterranean.

Habit Shrub - Scented foliage
Plant family Lamiaceae
I am a woody, perennial herb with highly fragrant evergreen needle-like leaves which are a key flavouring ingredient in many Mediterranean cuisines. I produce an abundance of blue flowers from late winter through to summer. Hardy I am a good choice for both hot and cool climates tolerating light frosts and dry conditions. I am associated with improved memory. Sprigs of me are often worn on Anzac and Remembrance days. I make a great low formal or informal hedge particularly beside pathways where my aroma will be appreciated.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
Fresh or dried my sprigs are a favoured ingredient to flavour Mediterranean vegetable and meat dishes
Plant me in borders, containers, garden beds and beside pathways so my scented foliage can be enjoyed
I have good form without trimming but respond well to pruning suiting me to formal hedges and topiary
