Rosemary

Rosemary is a perennial herb that likes a few hours of sunshine during the day. It is best not to have damp feet so make sure soil is well drained.

Rosemary plants can be grown indoors. A rosemary plant or rosemary tree grows to about 1metre with ling spiky branches radiating from a base. Each branch has many little leaves that are quite narrow and pithy. When crushed rosemary is fragrant and is used in cooking. The rosemary tree is hardy and can take some pruning. Rosemary tree care should include regular watering but do not over water. The rosemary Christmas tree can make a great addition to the Christmas décor, with a fragrant herb as decoration. Rosemary plant care will include keeping the plant where it can have around four hours of sunlight during the day and the weather isn’t too cold for it. If grown in cold climate, bring the rosemary plant indoors during the cold nights.

They will know about rosemary plant disease, have rosemary plant pictures and know all about any rosemary plant problems. Growing rosemary plants is not difficult and having the herb on hand when cooking is a great advantage. Fresh herbs are a great addition to a garden or window box.
