{"product_id":"col-add-hea-tin-rosx1","title":"Rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus) – Evergreen Culinary Herb (Pre-Planted Heart Logo Tin)","description":"\u003cp\u003eRosemary (Salvia rosmarinus, formerly Rosmarinus officinalis) is an evergreen, aromatic herb for the kitchen, and this one comes pre-planted in a Heart Logo Tin with a decorative moss rim, ready to give as a gift or to grow on a patio or in a herb garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe leaves are narrow, needle-like and deep green with silvery undersides, and they are highly aromatic. Pale blue to violet-blue flowers appear from late winter into spring, so the bees get an early source of nectar. Because rosemary is evergreen, you can pick sprigs all year for roasted meats, breads, vegetables and infused oils.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rosemary is growing in the tin and arrives in it, with a moss finish around the rim. Give it the sunniest, warmest spot you have and make sure water can drain away freely, as sharp drainage matters more to rosemary than anything else. It is hardy through an average British winter, but a very cold, wet one can kill it, especially on heavy soil. It is a good choice for a patio, a kitchen garden, a herb border or a coastal garden. The tin design and moss finish may vary slightly from batch to batch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater moderately and let the soil dry out between waterings. Trim lightly after flowering to keep the plant bushy, feed sparingly in the growing season, and harvest regularly to encourage fresh growth. Rosemary can irritate sensitive skin, so wear gloves when pruning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCultural Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosemary, Garden Rosemary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Salvia rosmarinus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully Grown Height and Spread:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 50-150cm tall and 50-150cm wide (variety dependent)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright to spreading, bushy evergreen shrub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kitchen gardens, herb borders, containers, patios and coastal gardens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Narrow, needle-like, deep green leaves with silvery undersides, highly aromatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late winter to spring, with occasional flowers into summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pale blue to violet-blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun, in a warm spot with sharp drainage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained, light or sandy soil; tolerates poor soils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardy through an average British winter, but a very cold, wet one can kill it, especially on heavy soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaintenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low; trim lightly after flowering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeasonal Interest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Evergreen all year, flowering from late winter into spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Evergreen herb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Verdant Living","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68022832464092,"sku":"COL-ADD-HEA-TIN-ROSX1","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/2455\/8300\/files\/1_21578e8e-e733-468f-a901-c7658ca2292b.png?v=1793658930","url":"https:\/\/www.verdant-living.co.uk\/products\/col-add-hea-tin-rosx1","provider":"Verdant Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
