Rosemary

3.5” pot Rosemary has been used in many cultures throughout the ages as a medicine and cure-all. The leaves contain flavonoids, proanthocyanidins, tannins, terpenoid bitters, phenols, acids and volatile oils. Rosemary is spicy, oily, diffusive, warming, drying, stimulating and an astringent.  Rosemary has a reputation for boosting memory and giving courage and is thought to help with depression, nervousness and anxiety.  Rosemary is an annual in our climate but does well brought indoors for the winter in a pot.  View Sawmill’s Herb Profile for more information.  Plant hardiness in MA: Annual Light preference: Sun  Plant spacing: 18” Plant height: 24”   Soil requirements: Well drained Harvest notes: Leaf Photo credit: Sawmill Herb Farm
