Dark green leaves, to 2 inches long, are rich in aromatic oils and are commonly used as a culinary herb. This plant is loved for its strong pine like flavor and fragrance. In summer, deep blue-violet flowers arise in great masses, and the rich color stays true even in the hottest days, refusing to bleach or fade.

Rosemary plants can be shaped and manicured to promote a more attractive, compact addition to your herb garden or container.
