Hi All,

My rosemary bush does not produce those nice rosemary
stems you get in the grocery store. But instead,
nasty tasting, bark like leaves.

Is there a special type of rosemary plant your for eating/cooking? I
think I may have planted an
ornamental bush.

Am I missing something?

where is it located? like is it in a very
hot location next to a wall that reflects heat
and light or does it get any shade or ?

i'm not all that familiar with growing it but
perhaps others can be helped by you providing
more details.

There are a LOT of rosemary varieties out there. Some have very stiff
branching, and other have moderate to soft branching. The latter is
what I prefer to grow for culinary use.


Got a name to order?


I find wandering the suburb and testing what I see on my travels gives me a
much better idea of what I want. When I see what I want my next trip is
with a pair of secateurs and a door knock to take a cutting. I haven't been
refused yet
