An evergreen shrub with elegant branches, Rosemary’s stem is ash-colored and scaly with leathery, thick leaves that are lustrous and dark green with white underneath. Its tiny pale blue blossoms abound from December through spring, and it can grow to heights of close to two meters in height. Its name originates from the Latin ros marinus (“Dew of the Sea”), as Rosemary naturally thrives near the Mediterranean Sea.
