Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) in P9 pot
Rosemary is a robust, aromatic shrub with needle-shaped green leaves and an intense Mediterranean fragrance. It's indispensable in the kitchen for meat, fish, and potato dishes, but also beautiful as an ornamental plant in borders, pots, or herb gardens. Small blue flowers appear in summer, attracting bees and other pollinators.
The plant grows compactly and can reach a height of 60–100 cm. Hardy, easy to care for, and a versatile addition to the garden.
Plant in a sunny spot in well-drained, rather poor to moderately nutrient-rich soil. Water sparingly and prune lightly in spring to keep the shrub compact and vigorous. Regularly harvesting stems encourages new growth.
Organic/non-organic
This planting material comes from a small-scale grower without an official organic certificate. But don't worry, we're certain it's pesticide-free.
Stronger plants, honest photos
Our plants are grown outdoors and are completely winter-hardy. They aren't young greenhouse plants, but stronger, perennials that have been growing for a while and therefore have a well-developed root system. By growing in wind, rain, and temperature fluctuations, they are better hardened, more robust, and adapt more quickly after planting than herbs grown in a warm greenhouse this year. Conservatory plants often look greener and fuller, but are younger and less resilient.
Because our plants follow the natural rhythm of the seasons, they can look bare or less attractive in winter. Many perennials die back (partially) above ground and store their energy underground. Sometimes the pot may seem empty, but don't worry: the strong roots are alive and will ensure the plant sprouts vigorously again in spring.
The photos show what the plants look like in winter, so you get a fair idea of what you'll receive if you order in the spring.
