Rosemary
Use fresh or dried, in sweet or savory dishes
- An ornamental edible with a lovely scent
- Delicious in sweet or savory dishes
- Grow outdoors or indoors
Rosemary's silvery-green needlelike foliage brings new dimensions to both sweet and savory dishes. Taste what happens when you add a little rosemary to a lemon cake, or when you marinate your favorite cut of meat with it and a splash of olive oil. Alternatively, add a sprig as a garnish to cocktails with grapefruit juice or lemon juice. If you choose to grow them indoors or outdoors in a container, gardeners love pruning rosemary into attractive shapes. To prolong the life of your rosemary once cut, place the sprigs in our Herb Keeper, where they'll last for weeks. 85 days to maturity.
