Rosemary is a native of the sea coasts of the Mediterranean, and its name is derived from “Ros Maris,” or dew of the sea. Wonderfully fragrant, needle-like foliage is used as a culinary herb; lavender flowers appear along the stems in late spring.
Prefers full sun and well-drained soil that is not too rich. Established plants have good drought tolerance. Performs poorly in heavy clay soils. Wet, poorly-drained soils in winter are usually fatal. If desired, prune plants after bloom to encourage dense foliage growth. Plants may also be pruned to specific shapes. Best kept out of cold winter windy areas.
