Rosmarinus officinalis, also known as rosemary, is native to Southern Europe. Rosemary is very popular and is frequently used in Italian cuisine. It is one of the most commonly used herbs for potato, beef, and lamb dishes. The plant emits a wonderful fragrance and is not only a delicious herb but also very attractive in the garden. Rosemary looks great in the flower bed, but it also does well in a pot on the terrace. The plant can also be used as a hedge. From March to May, the plant blooms with beautiful light blue, edible flowers that attract many butterflies and bees. The versatile rosemary is a true asset to any garden.

Care
Rosemary is not a difficult plant to care for. It prefers a sunny location and is very well suited for a south-facing garden. Rosemary does not require much water and prefers dry conditions. If the plant is in a pot, it needs a bit more care and should not be left dry for more than a week. Rosemary does not tolerate frost well. The branches can be covered, but you can also let it overwinter indoors.
