True rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis / Salvia rosmarinus) is one of the most popular Mediterranean herbs, combining aromatic fragrance , light purple flowers and evergreen, needle-like foliage into an elegant, versatile garden plant.

From April to June, rosemary adorns itself with delicate, panicle-shaped blossoms that magically attract bees and other pollinators . Its fragrant, silvery-green foliage remains throughout the year, adding a Mediterranean flair not only to herb gardens but also to pots, raised beds, or windowsills .

The plant grows bushy, loosely upright, and slightly woody , reaching a height of 50–100 cm and a width of up to 70 cm . It thrives in full sun and well-drained, rather dry soil . Waterlogging should be strictly avoided. Regular watering is important in high temperatures – especially in pots.

Rosemary is a perennial, evergreen, and robust plant , but outdoors it needs a sheltered location or winter protection during severe frosts. Its aromatic fragrance makes it a highlight for herb lovers, fragrance gardens, and Mediterranean plantings.
