Rosemary Herb Plant

The 'Rosemary' Herb Plant is a perennial herb with small blue or blue-white flowers and a unique piney scent. Its leaves are a staple flavoring in Mediterranean cooking, used both fresh and dried and often mixed with other herbs to create the popular seasoning blend “bouquet garni.” Rosemary is especially compatible with grilled or roasted lamb and fish. Slender green needle-like leaves grow on bushy stems that can reach 3 to 5 feet in height, and its flexible branches make it popular for use in topiaries. Rosemary has been used as a food preservative and it has disinfectant and medicinal properties. The essential oil is a stimulant and mild analgesic used to treat headaches and circulatory problems. Leaves can be used dried, but they lose most of their flavor, so they’re best clipped for immediate use. Each pot contains 1 herb plant.
