About the Plant:
A shrubby evergreen bush, Rosemary grows up to 6 feet high. It has silvery-green, leathery, needle-shaped leaves and small tubular, pale blue flowers. The shrubs prefer growing in sunny well drained soil although adapt to most conditions and can be grown as a low border in a formal garden. The name “rosemary” means “rose of the sea,” referring to its native habitat, the sandy Mediterranean coastline. Rosemary loves dry heat: the hotter and drier the climate, the stronger its penetrating aroma.*
As rosemary is highly aromatic, it is not troubled by pests and diseases. This is why Rosemary has such a wide range of culinary and medicinal uses; Rosemary is also used to fragrance soaps, cosmetics, detergents, and perfumes.
Where It Grows:
Rosemary is a shrub that originated in the Mediterranean region. Today, it is now cultivated worldwide throughout the temperate regions especially in California, Russia, the Middle East, England, France, Spain, Portugal, Yugoslavia, Morocco, Tunisia, and China. Amrita Aromatherapy is proud to carry Organic Rosemary Camphor Borneol from Tunisia.
