Two of the species (\u003cem\u003eR. tomentosus\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eR. eriocalyx\u003c\/em\u003e) are rare in the US, as are the interspecific hybrids \u003cem\u003eRosmarinus x lavandulaceus\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eRosmarinus x mendizabalii\u003c\/em\u003e. However, the culinary herb rosemary (\u003cem\u003eRosmarinus officinalis\u003c\/em\u003e), is very popular. The main limitation of \u003cem\u003eR. officinalis\u003c\/em\u003e is that many cultivars are not very cold hardy. We have selected the hardiest cultivars to make available to our customers.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eRosmarinus (Rosemary) Growing Conditions\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eRosemary is a very drought-tolerant plant that prefers full sun and well-drained soil. The fragrant leaves are deer-resistant too. In the winter, the shrubs produce small \u003ca title=\"See our list of flowers that attract butterflies\" href=\"https:\/\/www.plantdelights.sbs\/blogs\/articles\/butterfly-garden-plants-host-attract-butterflies\"\u003eflowers that attract butterflies\u003c\/a\u003e and hummingbirds. Rosemary does quite well in coastal environments with salt spray and in rock gardens. In fact the name 'rosmarinus' comes from the Latin \"ros\" (dew) and \"marinus\" (the sea) referring to its native coastal habitat. Rosemary does not tolerate wet feet, which will make the plants less winter hardy if it does not kill them outright. Rosemary becomes woody and will open in the center after a decade, but pieces can easily be replanted back in the original location.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eRosemary looks great when paired with bold- textured plants such as \u003ca title=\"agave\" href=\"https:\/\/www.plantdelights.sbs\/collections\/agave\"\u003eagave\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca title=\"canna\" href=\"https:\/\/www.plantdelights.sbs\/collections\/canna-bulbs-for-sale-canna-lilies-plants\"\u003ecanna\u003c\/a\u003e, and \u003ca title=\"musa basjoo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.plantdelights.sbs\/products\/musa-basjoo-basjoo-banana-tree\"\u003emusa basjoo\u003c\/a\u003e.

This grey-green, clump-former has typical fine-textured foliage, a wonderful fragrance, and (thanks to my wife) makes some fine rosemary chicken. Rosmarinus 'Arp' is the best grower for us in the South through both summer and winter.
