  • Landscaping

    Rosemary is one of the most versatile plants around and can be used in various locations throughout the garden, some examples are; herb gardens, on patios or balconies, borders and as hedges, flower beds and vegetable gardens as well as coastal gardens and even as a houseplant on a kitchen window sill.

  • Culinary & Nutrition

    The flavour profile of rosemary is characterised by its woody, slightly pine-like notes, making it particularly suitable for flavouring meats, especially lamb, pork, and chicken. Rosemary pairs well with roasted vegetables, and is often used in marinades and dressings. It can also be infused into olive oils or vinegars, serving as a flavourful base for salad dressings or drizzling over dishes. Rosemary leaves can be used whole or chopped, fresh or dried.

    Rosemary can also be used in baking; it adds a unique touch to bread, particularly focaccia.

  • Growing Conditions

    Rosemary thrives in warm, sunny climates. It is best suited for regions with Mediterranean-like conditions, including hot, dry summers. A well-draining soil is preferred, as it does not like waterlogged conditions. Prefers full sun and are relatively drought tolerant. Suitable for areas that get salt spray. Requires little fertiliser and likes to be trimmed regularly to maintain shape.
