Rosemary, Common Rosmarinus officinalis
This herb has been known since the misty origins of European culture, not only for its cosmetic, medicinal and symbolic value, but as the dominant spice in a huge variety of foods. Rosemary bread, rosemary potatoes, rosemary chicken....the list goes on and on. Its pungent flavor is particularly delicious combined with most meats, and with vinegars and garlic. Interesting Notes 'Rosemary' means 'dew of the sea' in latin; the plant originates in the mediterranean region.
Rosemary, Common Growing Tips The rosemary plant is easy to grow, and does not require extra watering. In a sunny location it will thrive, and produce large amounts of beautiful pure blue flowers. It responds well to trimming and can be shaped like an evergreen bush. In warmer climates, in fact, rosemary is an evergreen and grows to be a very large bush or can be trimmed like a small tree.
Sowing Information Preferred method - propagate new plants by cuttings so they stay true to type. Root semi-ripe cuttings in summer for next year's growth.Our 2010 shipping season has ended for our plants. All plant orders placed now will ship in April 2011. We do, however, ship seeds year round.
