Grow Rosmarinus 'Gorizia' (rosemary) for bold fragrance, evergreen texture, and reliable, pollinator-friendly bloom. You get narrow, needle-like leaves that release a strong aroma when brushed, plus small blue flowers along the stems in warm seasons. Mature plants typically reach about 36-60 inches tall with a 24-36 inch spread, forming a woody shrub that can be clipped into shape or allowed to develop a naturally upright, slightly open habit.

Place it where it receives full sun for best growth and strongest flavor. In hot, humid regions, choose a site with excellent air movement and sharp drainage. Rosemary dislikes soggy soil, so use a gritty, well-drained mix in containers and avoid heavy clay in the ground unless you amend for drainage. Water regularly while it establishes, then let the soil dry slightly between deep waterings; it is drought tolerant once established.

Prune after flowering or as needed to keep your plant dense and tidy, removing only a portion of the newest growth at a time. Rosemary is generally hardy in USDA Zones 8-10; in colder areas, grow it in a pot so you can bring it into bright light before hard freezes. Use it near patios, paths, and outdoor kitchens where you will enjoy the scent and can harvest fresh sprigs as needed.
