Insights
Rosemary is an evergreen plant hailing from the Mediterranean, with aromatic, dark green, leaves, and small blue-purple flowers which are highly attractive to bees and other pollinators. The leaves are superb for use with anything roasted and in stews. If you remember, use the shoot tips to make a memory restoring tea...
