Salvia rosmarinus, commonly known as rosemary, is an evergreen herb prized for its aromatic foliage, delicate blue flowers, and culinary versatility. Fun fact: rosemary's name comes from the Latin ros marinus, meaning "dew of the sea," because it naturally grows along the Mediterranean coastline. It is an excellent addition to herb gardens, landscapes, and containers, where it provides year-round beauty and fragrance.
Care Needs:
• Light: Full sun
• Water: Water regularly until established; once established, allow the soil to dry between waterings and avoid overwatering
• Pruning: Harvest or prune regularly to maintain a compact shape and encourage dense new growth
• Fertilizer: Apply a light application of a balanced fertilizer in spring if needed; excessive fertilization can reduce flavor and aroma
