Beloved tender perennial growing to 3–4'. Cannot withstand temperatures below 17°, may be overwintered indoors if kept cool and moist. Try near a cool basement window and keep misted. Dark grey-green needle-like leaves impart a robust resiny flavor. Rosemary clippings are said to repel slugs. Blossoms range from deep blue to pale pink. Likes dry alkaline soil; peat pots are too acidic.
