Insights
Being trained as a small standard (like a lollipop) makes it particularly attractive for formal planting in a border, parterre or as a specimen in a container. Native to the Mediterranean region, rosemarinus relishes the sun. Extremely versatile, the leaves are delicious sprinkled in stews and over trays of roasted meats.
