Rosemary

Rosemary is an inseparable part of summer and good food. This fragrant herb originates from the stony, sun-drenched slopes of the Mediterranean, where it grows in dry, nutrient-poor soil. That is why it will appreciate direct sun and a well-draining substrate in your home, too. Conversely, overwatering is strictly bad for it. We typically grow rosemary as a potted plant because it usually cannot survive our winters in the open ground. From spring to autumn, however, it will look lovely on your terrace, balcony, or sunny porch. Throughout the season, you can regularly trim its branches and use them for cooking, grilling, or preparing herbal oils. In addition to its typical scent and taste, you will also be delighted by its tiny flowers, which are popular with bees and other pollinators. Just give it the right spot, and rosemary will reward you with lush growth and a touch of that true southern comfort.
