This is an attractive perennial herb with fragrant evergreen needle-like leaves. It is native to the Mediterranean region with low water needs, but prefers well-drained soil. The botanical name Rosmarinus is derived from the old Latin for 'dew of the sea', a reference to its pale blue dew-like flowers and the fact that it is often grown near the sea. It is a symbol of remembrance and friendship, and is often carried by wedding couples as a sign of love and fidelity.

Can be overwintered indoors if given enough light and humidity.

Trim as needed to retain the shape you prefer.
