Rosemary Rosemary is a tall, bushy shrub with a dense growth habit, variable in size, widely known for its culinary uses. Linear, highly aromatic dark green leaves with pale, felty undersides. In Spring and Summer, pale violet-blue and white flowers appear, much to the delight of the bees and it has a tendency to flower at other times of the year, too. Clip rosemary to size when it becomes a little too big to your taste.
