Comments: Rosemarinus officianalis or Rosemary is an
attractive evergreen herbal plant. It has a piney bittersweet
flavor, a spice that is popularly used in Mediterranean cooking.
Rosemary is hardy to temperature of only 14degree F. Trim plant
regularly to keep plant in shape and to encourage more blooms.
Rosemarinus officianalis is an excellent plant for the perennial garden,
grown not only for its looks and aroma but for culinary use as well.
I love the fragance of Rosemary when it is in full bloom. It is an
easy to grow herbal plant for indoors or outdoors. It has no
insects or disease problems.
