Rosemary is a hardy evergreen shrub in the mint family, known for its aromatic, needle-like leaves and delicate purple-blue flowers that bloom in spring. It thrives in coastal areas, often flourishing on sea cliffs and in the misty air near the ocean. After flowering, a good pruning encourages new growth while supplying plenty of fresh sprigs for the kitchen. Rosemary is also easy to propagate by simply placing a cutting in water until roots appear. Beyond its culinary uses, this versatile herb has even been linked to supporting memory and focus.
