This rosemary is a true sensory experience as the narrowly oblong, dark green leaves are packed with a real punch of aroma. In late spring to early summer, pretty light blue flowers appear and these add further interest. This is a more upright form than most and it works well when planted at the back of a sunny herb bed or lining a path in a sensory garden. It is advisable to pick the older rosemary leaves regularly to encourage new growth, and the leaves can be utilised in cooking – particularly with roasted lamb or vegetables.
