Growing Zones 8-10
Smokey, resinous and aromatic from top to bottom! The BBQ Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis 'BBQ') is an upright growing woody perennial herb that will add lovely beauty to your landscape and your pantry! Loving sun and xeric sites, they're a garden standard but also perennial or even evergreen landscaping delights!
Later in the season, you'll enjoy a beautiful show of sky-blue flowers in the spring and summer, adding to the mysterious beauty of this common kitchen herb. Reaching just over a foot tall and a foot wide at maturity, these ornamental and fragrant gems are fragrant garden delights! The midsummer blossoms add lavender interest to the sage-green, needle-like foliage. Pollinators flock to the blossoms.
Both savory and sweet dishes, add it to brown sugar and create a glaze for Pears, Peaches, and Apples. This versatile herb isn't just for cooking though. Savvy bartenders know that it adds a special zing to after-dinner cocktails. Rosemary has so many uses beyond cooking! Use its sprigs in homemade herbal oils, and make use of the stems for flavor-filled BBQ skewers. Dry the leaves for the winter, crafts and dried décor. This is one herb that you really shouldn't live without.
Planting and Application:
BBQ Rosemary is one of the most versatile herbs in a cook's repertoire and perfect for the griller and meat smoker in your life! Growing your own in your kitchen or on the patio ensures that the Rosemary within arm's reach to use in your dishes is fresh, robust and flavorful! An essential rub for meats, including steak, wild game, fish, chicken and beef, BBQ Rosemary even has sturdy upright stems for skewering meat and kabobs to impart that incredible flavor!
Growing your own Rosemary in a container at home, by the front or back door, or around your barbecue pit - you just pluck what you need, when you need it! Nothing's fresher than that! Use in kitchen and herb gardens, or as an ornamental addition to the vegetable bed and sensory garden.

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Rosemary grows best in xeric, well-drained soil and in a site that receives full sun conditions. Keep in mind that Rosemary doesn't like cold weather or wet, so plant accordingly or keep your container in full sun indoors. Use as an annual in most growing zones, but these are woody perennials USDA growing zones 8-10. Prune after flowering to shape the plant and don't forget to use the trimmings to dry as a seasoning or for craft use! These are low-maintenance and deer-resistant plants for even the newest gardeners.
