Rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus) – Aromatic Evergreen Herb for Cooking & Landscaping

The Rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus), formerly known as Rosmarinus officinalis, is a fragrant evergreen herb prized for its aromatic needle-like leaves, culinary uses, and ornamental beauty.

Plant Care Guide

Light

Watering

Water regularly while the plant is establishing. Once mature, Rosemary is drought tolerant and should be watered only when the soil has dried out.

Soil

Plant in well-draining sandy or loamy soil. Rosemary does not tolerate waterlogged conditions and prefers slightly alkaline to neutral soil.

Temperature

Rosemary thrives in temperatures between 15°C and 30°C and performs exceptionally well in warm, dry climates.

Rosemary requires minimal feeding. Apply compost or a balanced fertilizer once or twice during the growing season if needed.
