Rosemary
This perennial plant is not completely hardy, except for special varieties, so in Central Europe it is usually grown in tubs.
In favourable locations, rosemary plants can grow up to two metres high, but they are usually closer to 50 cm.
The narrow, linear leaves are evergreen, so they do not fall off even in winter. These leaves grow directly on the branches,
they are quite hard and have a strong balsamic scent, similar to camphor, because of this fragrance,
Rosemary was sometimes used as a substitute for incense, which gave it the name „incense herb“.
Rosemary flowers between March and May and sometimes in September the rosemary flowers with light blue lipped blossoms.
The flowers are arranged in whorls in the leaf axils.
