Rosemary is an herb typically in upright shrub form, but there are some cascading or trailing varieties. Marigolds are perhaps best known as annual flowers, but there are several perennial species, such as Mexican marigold (Tagetes lemmonii), and many annuals can be grown as perennials in areas without frost. The way you choose to plant rosemary with marigolds depends on the growth habits of the species you plant.
