About Rosmarinus officinalis – Rosemary

Rosmarinus officinalis, commonly known as Rosemary, is an evergreen, woody shrub with a dense, aromatic habit. It produces narrow, needle-like grey-green leaves and forms a compact to spreading shape depending on variety and pruning. The foliage is highly fragrant and retained year-round.

It performs best in full sun and prefers free-draining soils. Rosemary is highly tolerant of dry conditions once established and performs reliably in coastal and exposed sites. It is well suited to warm temperate and Mediterranean-style climates, with low ongoing maintenance requirements.

They look excellent when used as low hedging, borders, groundcover (prostrate forms), or in herb and kitchen gardens. This species is commonly specified where drought tolerance, evergreen structure, and culinary use are required.
