Barbecue Rosemary | Salvia rosmarinus ‘Barbecue’ | Rosmarinus officinalis ‘Barbecue’ | Upright Rosemary
Barbecue Rosemary is a vigorous, sun-loving evergreen shrub prized for its spectacular, continuous profusion of remarkably straight, sturdy upright stems clothed in highly aromatic, needle-like dark green foliage and delicate, clear blue flowers that bloom prolifically from early spring through early summer. This exceptionally tough, heat-tolerant selection is known for its remarkable architectural habit and intense, savory flavor, making its perfectly straight stems ideal for use as natural skewers on the grill. Its intensely nectar-rich blossoms are an absolute magnet for bees and butterflies, making it a spectacular, low-maintenance thriller for sunny landscape borders, culinary herb gardens, and mixed patio containers. With its bold, structural texture and reliable performance through challenging heat and drought, Barbecue Rosemary offers an extraordinary display of lush, year-round greenery and culinary versatility with exceptionally straightforward care.
Growing Barbecue Rosemary
Light: Full sun; thrives in bright, direct sunlight (at least 6 to 8 hours per day) to produce the most abundant essential oils, the strongest stems, and maintain a tight, sturdy upright form. Too much shade will cause the plant to become leggy, weak, and significantly reduce flowering.
Soil: Light, sandy, or rocky, well-drained soil; highly adaptable to poor or average soils as long as drainage is excellent. It is extremely susceptible to root rot in heavy, waterlogged clay, especially during the cold, wet winter months.
Water: Low; water regularly until established, then allow the top few inches of soil to dry out completely between waterings. It is exceptionally drought-tolerant once mature and strongly dislikes consistently wet feet.
Maintenance: Exceptionally low maintenance. Prune lightly after the main flush of spring flowering to maintain a neat shape and encourage a dense flush of fresh foliage. Harvest the exceptionally straight, sturdy stems regularly throughout the year for culinary use, particularly as flavorful skewers for grilling meats and vegetables.
Wildlife: Highly attractive to bees and butterflies; naturally deer- and rabbit-resistant due to its strongly aromatic essential oils.
Hardiness: Perennial in USDA zones 8–10; widely grown as a spectacular, fast-growing culinary annual or overwintered indoors as a container plant in all cooler regions.
