A pretty form of the common 'Rosemary'. Low growing and spreading it forms a dense evergreen shrub with aromatic foliage and pretty pale blue flowers. The fresh leaves - thin and spiky, have a particularly potent fragrance and flavour, great with all kinds of grilled and roasted meats and fish - especially poultry. When grilling, first marinate the meat in rosemary, sage, bay leaves, thyme, pepper and olive oil; then, while cooking, sprinkle rosemary leaves and branches directly on the glowing charcoals. The wonderful aroma of the burning herb will permeate whatever you are grilling. Prefers a sunny well drained site. Flowers May-Jun.
