Rosmarinus

Rosemary

Studious Greeks twined Rosemary in their hair “for remembrance” before exams; the French burned it as an incense substitute in cathedrals. And of course, there’s the taste—pungent and aromatic, a pinch delivers a punch of flavor. The rugged, picturesque evergreens of this genus resemble short-needled pines studded with tiny blue orchids.

Rosemarys are never fussy, take heat and poor soil, are truly pest and deer resistant, and only improve with age. Good drainage is preferred.

Rosmarinus officinalis ‘Herb Cottage’

Upright, with a tidy, tight-knit character that showcases broad, attractive foliage and vividly dark, violet-blue flowers, ‘Herb Cottage’ originated at the Cathedral Herb Garden in Washington, D.C. This bushy, culinary delight is favored for its good looks and deserves a spot in your herb garden or a container alongside a well traveled path.

Blooms January–April.

Size: 2'–3' high x 2' wide; hardy to zone 8.
