Description

Barbeque Rosemary is a robust, upright variety specifically prized by chefs and gardeners for its strong, straight stems that are perfect for use as natural skewers. Its stiff, woody stems are clothed in aromatic, dark green leaves with a robust flavor. It grows into a dense, tall shrub and produces the characteristic blue flowers. This plant combines outstanding ornamental value with unparalleled utility for the grill, making it a must-have in any culinary or sensory garden.

Strong, Straight Stems for Skewers: The primary feature is its long, sturdy, and straight stems, ideal for impaling meats and vegetables for grilling.
Upright, Vigorous Growth: Forms a tall, dense, and bushy shrub, excellent for hedging or as a background plant.
Excellent Robust Flavor: The leaves have a strong, classic rosemary flavor, great for culinary use and infusing into grilled foods.
Heat & Drought Tolerant: Like all rosemary, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soil with minimal watering.
Dual-Purpose Garden Star: Serves equally well as a handsome landscape shrub and a functional kitchen garden herb.
