It is popular for flavoring meats and soups. To add zest to grilled beef, chicken, or ribs.
Planting Rosemary from seed take a lot of time and patience, you may be better to buy a plant already started, as it is slow growing.
Rosemary can be brought indoors in colder climates and used as a houseplant. You’ll love the fragrance it emits to the air once brushed with you hands , or cut a few snips and use for cooking..
If your winter temperatures dips below 3o degrees, rosemary plants will have to spend the winter indoors. In this case, growing rosemary in a container is the best decision.
Rosemary likes to be on the dry side, terra cotta pots are an especially good choice. Just be sure it doesn’t bake and completely dry out while outdoors during the summer.
