Rosemary – Woody Herb with Needle-Like Aromatic Leaves
Rosemary (Lamiaceae family), native to Europe & Africa, is a perennial evergreen shrub with blue flowers. Known for its sweet, resinous flavor, rosemary leaves are pungent and slightly bitter, used fresh or dried to season lamb, poultry, sausages, seafood, stuffings, stews, soups, potatoes, tomatoes, and more. Its bluish flowers attract bees, and the plant is fairly resistant to pests, though susceptible to powdery mildew in humid climates.
Plant
Rosemary typically grows to about 1 metre in height, with some plants reaching 2 metres. The linear leaves resemble small curved pine needles—dark green and shiny above, white underneath. Flowers are borne in axillary clusters.
Maturity
Harvest begins around 90 days after planting.
Environment
Rosemary thrives in full sun to partial shade. Provide rich, well-drained soil and water evenly throughout the growing season, avoiding overwatering. It tolerates dry conditions but not consistently wet soil.
Planting & Growing Instructions
Plant seeds ¼ to ½ inch under the soil in rows 30 cm apart. Thin seedlings to 30 cm spacing once they reach 10–15 cm tall. Apply nutrients and plant protection regularly.
Height After Growth
Approximately 40 cm.
Planting Season
Winter.
Note
Seeds are for sowing only, not for consumption. Sow before the expiry date.
