Noteworthy Characteristics
For gardeners who like to cook out, the stems of Barbeque Rosemary are strong and sturdy for use as skewers for shish kabob. The plant grows quickly into an upright evergreen shrub in Zones 8-11. The foliage is needle like and highly aromatic, infusing your food with that traditional rosemary flavor. Clear blue flowers that contrast nicely with the dark green foliage are produced in summer and often at other times of the year. In cooler areas north of Zone 8 you can grow rosemary in containers that can be brought indoors during the winter months, when temperatures fall below 30 degrees.
Growing Information
Plant rosemary in soils that are very well drained. Provide enough water during the first growing season to keep soil moist but not constantly soggy. Once the deep root system is established plants are very drought tolerant. Feed with a good organic fertilizer in early spring. You can shear as desired to whatever shape you like.

Medicinal herbalist report that rosemary is an energising aphrodisiac and mood enhancing, also useful as an anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, analgesic, aids in digestion of fats, or as a mouthwash for halitosis or antiseptic gargle.
