Rosemary
Rosmarinus officinalis
Rosmarinus officinalis Rosemary. This shrub has pale green, narrow leaves with a leathery texture and the flowers are small and pretty. There are many types of rosemary available with varying growth habits, from spreading and low-growing to fairly large upright shrubs. Traditionally flowering in blue, there is also now a pink and white form.
Rosemary plants are also used as companion plants where their strong scent helps to repel pests like aphids, slugs, snails, caterpillars and cutworms from attacking vegetable crops.
