Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis)

Size: 2-inch Grower Pot

Fragrant, flavorful, and incredibly hardy, Rosemary is a staple of the Mediterranean herb garden. This 2-inch starter size is perfect for windowsills, small herb containers, or as a young addition to your outdoor landscape. With its classic pine-like aroma and needle-shaped evergreen foliage, it is as beautiful as it is useful in the kitchen.

Visual Appeal

Rosemary is a woody perennial characterized by its stiff, upright stems and dark green, needle-like leaves with silvery undersides. Even at this small starter size, the plant releases its iconic, refreshing scent whenever the foliage is brushed or pinched. As it matures, it can grow into a substantial shrub or a cascading focal point.

Key Features

• Culinary Must-Have: A versatile herb used fresh or dried to flavor roasted meats, vegetables, breads, and oils.
• Aromatic & Ornamental: Perfect for sensory gardens, providing both a wonderful fragrance and delicate blue-purple flowers in the spring.
• Drought Tolerant: Once established, rosemary is exceptionally water-wise and hardy in sunny locations.
• Pollinator Friendly: The nectar-rich flowers are a favorite for bees and other beneficial garden visitors.

Quick Care Guide

• Light: Requires full sun (at least 6 hours of direct light daily) to thrive and maintain its essential oil production.
• Water: Allow the soil to dry out significantly between waterings. Rosemary is sensitive to overwatering, so well-draining soil is essential.
• Temperature: Cold hardy in many zones, but should be brought indoors or protected if temperatures drop well below freezing for extended periods.
• Pruning: Regular harvesting of the tips encourages the plant to grow bushier and prevents the base from becoming too woody.
