The Chef’s Choice® Rosemary is a small shrub growing less than 2 feet tall and wide, with exceptional levels of the aromatic oils that make rosemary so useful in the kitchen. Its compact form makes it ideal for growing in pots inside or outside the kitchen, and plants can be overwintered in a cool porch or at a sunny window. The evergreen leaves are available all year round for the kitchen, and fresh leaves are so much better than dried ones. Attractive violet-blue spring flowers and dense green leaves make this a great garden plant as well.
Grow the Chef’s Choice® Rosemary bush in full sun for the best growth and the most oils. It can resist outdoor temperatures down to 10oF, so keep it outside except during the coldest weather. Overwinter in a sunny, cool place. Grow in well-drained soil and don’t overwater. Pests and diseases are rare, and this plant has good tolerance of salt-spray. Trim as needed for the kitchen, and give a harder trim in spring to encourage lots of fresh new growth. Don’t cut back into older wood.
