Rosemary is a woody, perennial herb with fragrant, needle-like leaves and small, pale blue flowers. It is native to the Mediterranean region but is now widely cultivated around the world for both culinary and medicinal purposes.

Rosemary plants are relatively easy to grow and can be cultivated in a variety of soil types, although they prefer well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. They also prefer full sun and moderate watering.
