Product Details
Named for the town in Italy where it was discovered, tall, upright Rosmarinus officinalis 'Gorizia' is a sizeable specimen, a cook’s treasure, and an attractive addition to large containers and landscapes where it remains evergreen in milder climates. The plant’s long, rigid, sienna-colored stems are ideal for cutting and they make excellent skewers for grilling. The broad, dark, gray-green leaves are double the size produced by most Rosemary cultivars and carry a subtle, sweet fragrance and hint of ginger flavor. In summertime, the plant’s pale blue blossoms appear in clusters along the stems, attracting butterflies, bees, and other pollinators. Also classified as Salvia rosmarinus.
Where Rosemary is not hardy (beyond Zones 8–11), plants may spend the summer outdoors, then come indoors to a sunny window in the coldest room in the house for the winter.
As part of our commitment to sustainability (and clean, delicious, homegrown food), we grow our vegetables from non-GMO seeds. Herbs are grown from seed, cuttings, and plugs. We employ IPM (Integrated Pest Management), organic practices, biological controls, and environmentally sound products throughout our greenhouse growing operation. We use no pesticides of any kind for insect or disease control on edible plants, and no growth regulators or neonicotinoids on any of the plants we grow.
Shipping
HOW PLANTS ARE SHIPPED
The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.
WHEN WE SHIP
We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone. We also ship a wide range of containers and planters, tools, supplies, fertilizers, garden wear, garden decor items, as well as indoor decorations like wreaths and dried bouquets when available. Estimated dates for shipping are indicated in the green Shipping Details box for each item. Please supply a street address for delivery. Kindly contact us with two weeks notice, if you'll be away at the expected time of delivery.

Growing guide
Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) is an aromatic evergreen shrub with thin, piney-scented, gray-gray leaves. Native to the Mediterranean, it needs a spot with full sun, and must have excellent drainage and good air circulation to grow well. Water only enough to keep the plant from drying out. Feed lightly once a year in spring. In mild-winter areas, where ground doesn't freeze, Rosemary can be planted right in the ground. In cold winter areas with ground-freezing frosts, Rosemary should be grown in a pot or other container outside over the warm summer season and then brought inside during the cold weather. Do not repot often as this causes shock. Cut back your Rosemary about 1/3 before bringing it indoors to overwinter in a spot that gets at least 6 hours of direct sun. After several years, carefully repot your Rosemary into a slightly larger container. Given the above good growing conditions, Rosemary rarely has problems with insects or disease. Hardy in Zones 7-10.
