About Rosmarinus officinalis (Rosemary herb)

Rosmarinus officinalis - Rosemary herb - romarin, is a generally erect, rounded, evergreen shrub with aromatic, needle-like, gray-green leaves and tiny, two-lipped, pale blue to white flowers. It typically grows to 4-6’ tall in areas where it is winter hardy. The intensely fragrant foliage of this shrub is commonly harvested for a variety of purposes including culinary flavorings, toiletries and sachets. These plants also add excellent ornamental value. Gray-green, linear, needle-like leaves (to 1.5” long) are closely spaced on the stems and are very aromatic with a strong flavor. Tiny, two-lipped flowers bloom in axillary clusters along the shoots of the prior year’s growth. Some sporadic additional bloom may occur in summer or fall, particularly if plants are trimmed after the late winter to spring bloom.  Family: lamiaceae
