Rosemary
Rosmarinus Officinalis
Overview
Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) is a fragrant, evergreen perennial herb valued for its needle-like leaves and woody stems. Thriving in full sun, it reaches heights of 3-5 feet with a spread of 2-4 feet. Its drought resistance makes it ideal for xeriscaping. In spring to early summer, it produces small, bee-attracting, blue to purplish flowers. Hardy in USDA zones 8-10, rosemary pairs well with other Mediterranean plants in landscape designs.
