Rosmarinus officinalis Chefs Choice™

Common Name: Rosemary 'Chef’s Choice'

Description:
Rosemary 'Chef’s Choice' (Rosmarinus officinalis Chef’s Choice™) is a superior culinary rosemary variety selected for its exceptional flavour, compact growth, and high oil content. This evergreen herb produces fragrant, needle-like dark green leaves that are perfect for cooking, offering a rich, robust rosemary aroma. From late winter through spring, it bears small, pale blue flowers that attract bees and other pollinators. Unlike traditional rosemary, 'Chef’s Choice' grows in a more compact, bushy form, making it ideal for pots, herb gardens, and small spaces. It thrives in full sun, well-drained soil, and is highly drought-tolerant once established. With its excellent disease resistance and year-round foliage, this variety is an essential addition for any home cook or garden enthusiast.
