There is absolutely nothing like fresh rosemary! It is one of my favorite herbs and is fabulous for the garden, kitchen and potpourri bowl. In my opinion, every garden must have at least one rosemary plant.

Rosemary, scientific name Rosmarinus officinalis, is a member of the mint family and is native to the Mediterranean region where it grows in dry, sandy or rocky soils. The climate in this region boasts warm summer days, cool nights and mild, dry winters. Not every region has this type of climate, but most folks can grow this herb successfully with a little thought to its culture. Here in Florida, the humidity makes growing rosemary a challenge.

I have found that rosemary will grow in this less than perfect environment if the soil is very well-drained and sandy. Don't worry
