The very name of this fabulously fragrant plant evokes the best associations. Rosemary is not only an attractive ornamental plant, but also a spice and medicinal plant.This sub-shrub of southern European origin has been blooming blue since February and, with good care, can delight your eyes for years.
Development of rosemary
The dense habit is a characteristic feature of the brownish wooded shrub. Untreated rosemary can reach a height of 2 meters.
Rosemary - position
Rosemary likes places in the sun and tolerates high temperatures.
Rosemary care
Evergreen rosemary should be trimmed right after flowering.Trimming dry inflorescences and shoots keeps the semi-shrubs low and bushy.Rosemary withstands frosts down to -10 ° C. It is not demanding in terms of nutrition, so you are satisfied with one (to two) doses of universal fertilizer for potted plants per month.
We replant plants every year. Rosemary prefers a permeable substrate, but does not tolerate stagnant water. In summer, the substrate should be constantly moist, but not soaked, otherwise the roots may rot.
Rosemary - wintering
Rosemary should reach the quarters in November and stay there until March. The best wintering conditions are provided by a bright room with a temperature of 5-10 ° C.Throughout the winter we water poorly, just to such an extent as to prevent the substrate from drying out.
Application of rosemary
For pot growing. In warmer regions it can be grown outdoors.
Tip
Rosemary can be added to meats, cold cuts and sauces.The smell of burning twig repels insects.
