Barbeque Rosemary is an evergreen culinary shrub providing a bold aroma all year round. The stiff and strong upright stems are excellent for barbeque skewers and sport a profuse bloom of clear blue flowers in summer. Best grown in full sun and slightly acidic well-drained soils. Drought and heat tolerant. Rosemary in the garden deters many pests.
