Rosemary officinalis (Common rosemary)

This hardy evergreen shrub has strongly aromatic mid-green foliage which can be used fresh or dried for flavouring. The common form has pale blue flowers which appear mainly in spring but can continue sporadically through to autumn. Rosemary is best placed in well-drained soil in a sunny position either in the ground or in containers. R.o.'Prostratus' is a weeping form suitable for ground cover or 'flowering over' urns etc. In spring and early summer we also carry a stock of plants smaller than shown here and can also supply to special order. Rosemary is generally subject to seasonal availability.
