Rosemary, Rosmarinus officinalis, is renowned as an essential culinary and medicinal herb, grown for its aromatic evergreen leaves and unusual flowers. Originally from the Mediterranean region, it's now widely grown all over the world. It's used in sauces, soups and bouquet garnis. It's commonly used alongside roast lamb and roast potatoes, and works particularly well in tomato-based dishes.
Rosemary is easy to grow and is just as well suited to growing in an ornamental border as it is in the herb garden.
Rosmarinus officinalis 'Severn Sea' has been awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit (AGM). Its bears mid-blue flowers from early spring to summer, and sometimes again in autumn. Its needle-like leaves are highly aromatic, making it perfect for use in the kitchen.
Choose a sunny, sheltered spot – ideally near to where you sit in summer or along a path where you can brush past it, to appreciate its aroma.
