Description

Rosemary is an aromatic herb with needle-like leaves that are green on top and silvery on the underside. It has a woody, shrubby growth habit and can reach about 3–5 feet in height, though some varieties may grow taller. Its leaves have a strong, piney, slightly citrusy scent, and the plant produces small, light blue to purple flowers in the spring or summer.

Rosemary is commonly used in cooking for its savory flavor, particularly with meats like lamb, chicken, and pork, as well as in Mediterranean dishes. It’s also valued for its medicinal properties and is believed to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and memory-boosting effects. The plant thrives in well-drained soil, full sunlight, and can be grown both indoors or outdoors. It’s a hardy herb, often found in herb gardens or even as a decorative shrub in landscapes.
