Treasured for parterres in the French or Italian style. Naturalizes in hot dry climates to add interest to native plantings or international xeriscape composition. Belongs in every kitchen garden, veggie plot and herb garden. Rosemary makes an excellent potted plant, particularly in terra cotta for porch or patio. |

| Companion Plants | Lavender (Lavandula); Bay Laurel (Laurus); Pomegranate (Punica); Fig (Ficus); Meyer Lemon (Citrus) |
| Care Instructions | Thrives in loose, well-drained, neutral to slightly acidic soils. Water deeply, regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system; reduce frequency once established. Avoid excess winter moisture. Needs little care; can be fertilized lightly in spring. Prune to maintain desired shape. |
| History | Rosemary is a valuable Old World aromatic shrub from Europe through Asia Minor. It is native to much of the Mediterranean region and most specifically in the south of France. It was classified by Linnaeus into the mint family and he named its genus from the Latin for sea-dew because it is commonly found on the chalk hills along the seacoast. There are only two species grown, and this one was the primary plant used officially in the herbal pharmacoepia. It remains today a valuable culinary herb and dryland garden plant. This more cold hardy cultivar was discovered by Madalene Hill in Arp, Texas and named for the town. It was sent to the U.S. National Arboretum for testing and is proven to survive further north. |
