A key ingredient of the Mediterranean-style garden, Rosenary officinalis is particularly attractive herb with strongly aromatic, needle like leaves, about 1″ long, and clusters of pale blue to white flowers, which sporadically appear in summer and fall.
There are many uses for Rosemary that no garden should be without this lovely and versatile mediterranean shurb. The intensely fragrant foliage releases its fresh scent when brushed against, making rosemary a great addition along paths and walkways or in containers on sunny patios and decks. Rosemary has been used as a medicinal and aromatic herb for thousands of years. Harvest it as a seasoning for meats and vegetables, toiletries, or for making sachets.
Ideal for herb and rock gardens, window boxes, beds and borders, or plant in pots around your patio with other scented plants to deter mosquitoes!
