description_en: Genus of 2 species of evergreen shrubs found in rocky sites, woodland, and scrub in the Mediterranean region, and cultivated for their aromatic foliage and flowers. The leaves are opposite and narrowly linear; the 2-lipped, tubular flowers are borne in short, few-flowered, axillary whorls. Grow rosemary in a shrub or mixed border, in a herb garden, against a sunny wall, or as a hedge. Low-growing cultivars, such as R. officinalis ’Prostratus’, are ideal for a rock garden or the top of a dry wall. The leaves are commonly used as a culinary herb.
