July, 2012 Seed count: 25-30 This is the Rosemary of cooking,
herbal lore and legend. Since it is attractive and drought
tolerant, Rosemary is used as an ornamental plant in gardens and
for xeriscape landscaping, especially in regions of
Mediterranean climate. It is considered easy to grow and pest-
resistant. Rosemary can grow quite large and retain
attractiveness for many years, can be pruned into formal shapes
and low hedges and has been used for topiary. It is easily grown
in pots. The name derives from the Latin words ros marinus,
which translate as dew of the sea. According to legend, it was
draped around the Greek goddess Aphrodite when she rose from the
ocean upon her birth. Sow seed in containers in autumn or
spring. Maintain even, but not excessive, moisture. Grow on in
any good garden soil. Hardy to -15°C (5°F), although leaves may
be severely damaged by exposure to sun during freezing weather.
