Description:
Rosemary is a classic herb with timeless appeal. It’s tough, intensely aromatic and flavourful to boot. Rosemary can be used to great effect as a low hedge or evergreen shrub. It’s drought tolerant, pest resistant and easy to grow. Every Aussie garden needs rosemary, and every lamb roast needs it too! Snip off a little of the fresh new growth to season meats, vegies and sauces – or dry to use later.
