Rosemary

Rosemary  (Rosmarinus)

Rosemary (Rosmarinus) is a genus of winter green (half) shrubs from the Mediterranean. Put Rosemary in the full sun in well-draining soil which contains some lime. Ensure good drainage, otherwise Rosemary will not survive the winter. Not all species are fully hardy. Sometimes it is best to plant Rosemary in a pot with good drainage and winter the plant in a dry spot, protected against hard frost and bright winter-sun. By cutting parts of Rosemary regularly for use in the kitchen, you keep the plant nice and bushy. Good neighbour plants for Rosemary are Thyme (Thymus), Lavender (Lavandula) and Oregano (Origanum).
