Salvia rosmarinus Rosemary
Salvia rosmarinus Rosemary is a woody, evergreen perennial herb, valued for its needle-like, aromatic foliage and intense piney-earthy flavor. Growing to about 2 - 6 feet tall with a spread of 2 - 4 feet, this variety is perfect for kitchen gardens, rockeries, and container plantings where both culinary utility and drought tolerance are desired. Unlike tender herbs that fade quickly, rosemary offers a year-round harvest in mild climates and serves as a rugged, structural element in the garden, providing texture and fragrance through all seasons.
Culinary and Practical Uses
- The resinous, leathery leaves are a cornerstone of Mediterranean cuisine, providing a robust flavor that pairs perfectly with roasted meats, poultry, root vegetables, and focaccia breads.
- The essential oils within the leaves are highly valued for aromatherapy and crafting, often used in soaps, sachets, and wreaths for their refreshing, mental-clarity-boosting scent.
- Traditionally used in herbal practices to improve memory, soothe digestion, and stimulate circulation.
Characteristics
- Foliage: Needle-like, leathery leaves that are dark green on top and silvery-white underneath, packed with aromatic oils; ideal for drying or using fresh in long-cooking dishes,
- Growth Habit: Woody, semi-upright shrub that becomes denser with age; suitable for hedging, topiary, or as a focal point in a xeriscape garden.
- Flowers: Produces delicate, two-lipped blossoms ranging from pale blue to violet in spring and summer, which are a magnet for bees and pollinators.
- Seeds: Slow to germinate but rewarding; harvested after the small nutlets mature and turn brown; requires patience and warmth to start.
Growing Requirements
- Sun: Thrives in full sun; requires at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily to develop the highest oil content and flavor.
- Soil: Requires well-draining, sandy or loamy soil; rosemary is highly susceptible to root rot in heavy clay or waterlogged soils.
- Water: Requires low to moderate watering; allow the top inch of soil to dry out completely between waterings, as established plants are quite drought-tolerant.
- Spacing: Plant seedlings 18 to 24 inches apart to ensure excellent air circulation, which prevents fungal issues in humid climates.
- Maintenance: Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth; bring potted plants indoors in zones colder than 7.

Haven’t transplanted yet, but it’s a beautiful plant. We are gifting it to a friend that moved…Friendship Plant is very appropriate!
I love it
Truly tiny is still tiny but healthy!
It seems to be doing well but could have been packed better.
Blossom Dale did a wonderful job with packaging and Sedum Autumn Joy plants arrived in great condition and are thriving. So far so good.
The milkweed is not doing well...
Very healthy cutting. Followed the instructions and let it get acclimated to its new surroundings for a couple of weeks before repotting. Would not hesitate to purchase from this business again 😃
Plants arrived in great condition. This plant has only been in the ground about 10 days and is growing a lot. The plant cage is 12” tall so it’s doing well. I put guards around my new plants for a little while because I have bunnies who love tender young leaves.
Got this for my wife’s birthday. Plan to pot it soon.
I got 2 mystery plants (one indoor and one outdoor). The indoor was a pilea and the outdoor plant was a white blackberry. White blackberry was dramatic, but it’s making a comeback and the pilea is doing great!
Came in well packed and the plant was alive and healthy!
Even though the newest leaf was broken off it seems to be doing well
My little banana arrived happy and healthy!
The plant arrived well packaged with instructions on how to get started. It had been doing really well and has been growing like a weed!
It is just putting roots down now.
Received in great condition, transplanted just before heavy rain and its thriving
Just a little shock put her in a fabric pot on the back porch full sun should be happy thank you for the lovely plant
Fair price good looking plant can’t wait for it to get bigger!
Need to upgrade your packaging. I would suggest taping the plant in place in the cardboard tube on the count that it slid and smashed itself. Luckily, it's a strong plant and should recover. Hoping.for the best.
So Beautiful. Packaged well . Love my little guy.
It’s so cool I love it!!!
She is doing well even after a rough delivery. She is thriving and putting on new growth. Thank you.
The plant arrived after a few delivery reroutes. It came with three leaves two so far are healthy one was dying and has since died. The two remaining leaves appear to be doing well.
After overcoming the initial travel stress. The plants are doing well.
The follow up plants were very good
Customer service here is second to none! Very very happy and already made another purchase. But anyway, I ordered 1 and they sent me 2 beautiful babies! I'm so excited to watch them grow!
This little guy came in perfect. Despite the cat knocking it over and being placed in the soup cup for safer keeping, it’s thriving and happy. Once it’s bigger then it will make its way outdoors.
I like it very much and looking forward to eating some cherries
This is my first year of ordering live plants on line. I live in an apt, but have a nice size patio to do container planting. I'm waking up my green thumb and loving it.
Got a great little house plant for $9.99!!!
I am very happy for all the Butterworth I got extra like usual which was nice I put them all in pots for now I'll do my project later after they get growing thank you
Plant came packaged perfectly. Fast shipping. Can’t wait to see it grow!
I received what I believe is a very healthy plant. Unfortunately, the shipping was very hard on the plant. It is quickly bouncing back. Wish I would have known it was a seedling .
The package arrived with no issues. The fig was very stable & looked like it came out of the nursery (it did). The USDA certificates for Gypsy moth /Japanese beetles ensures the plant were checked makes me feel I finally found an institution which cares about the customer & plant. Thanks Jose
Thank you
I’m excited about this tiny banana tree and can’t wait to see it grow more! It came well packed and in perfect shape. Now this beautiful little plant has burned leaves, but that’s my fault because I left it out on my patio in the sun for a long time. Don’t do what I did. But you can see a new leaf already sprouting in the middle and just about to unfurl. I have no doubt this tiny tree will grow well.
Cute and healthy
The flavor is bold and complex—less of the light, floral sweetness you get from typical clover honey and more of a deep, almost molasses-like richness. It has a rich, robust profile, and it definitely delivers on that promise. The texture is thick and smooth, exactly what you’d expect from raw honey. It pours slowly and coats well, making it perfect for drizzling over toast, yogurt, or even pairing with cheeses. It may be a bit intense for those used to lighter honeys, but for anyone who appreciates bold, natural flavors, this is a standout choice.
