Rosemary
Rosemary is one of the most essential and beloved herbs in the entire culinary tradition — the intensely aromatic, needle-like leaves carry a deep, resinous, piney fragrance with hints of lemon and pine that's irreplaceable in roasted meats, focaccia, herb breads, compound butters, and countless Mediterranean preparations. Drought tolerant, long-lived, and thriving in dry conditions, it's among the most rewarding and low-maintenance perennial herbs you can grow, providing decades of fresh and dried harvests from a single plant.
