Rosemary Herb Seeds - Rosmarinus officinalis |
|
Rosemary makes a fantastic garden herb. It is a perennial evergreen that has needle like pungent aroma with pretty pale blue flowers that attract bees & beneficial insects. It is great grown as an herb in the veg patch or in the garden borders. It grows eventually to a height of between 50-70cm and grows for up to 15 years.
It has a powerful fragrance that complements lamb & chicken dishes and a few sprigs roasted with roast potatoes tastes very good. It is great fresh or dried.
Germination can be low and erratic, seeds can sometimes take 2-3 months to germinate, so patience is required and don't throw the compost away too quickly. Rosemary is also slow to grow but is also quite expensive to buy.
Approx 200 seeds per pack.
