Rosmarinus officinalis — Rosemary on stem — Ø14 cm — H45 cm
🌿 Evergreen aromatic foliage • 🎨 Elegant stem form • ☀️ Full sun • 💧 Moderate watering • 🌸 Blue nectar-rich flowers • 🐾 Non-toxic
The Rosmarinus officinalis, also called Rosemary on stem, is a striking Mediterranean aromatic plant known for its grey-green needle-shaped fragrant leaves and its elegant stem form with a compact ball-shaped crown. This fascinating plant has a structured growth with a woody trunk topped by a dense crown of aromatic leaves that bring a touch of Mediterranean charm and refinement to your balcony or terrace.
Native to the Mediterranean basin, Rosmarinus officinalis is a perennial plant from the mint family that naturally grows on sunny, rocky slopes. This stemmed version ("op stam" in Dutch) is especially valued for its elegant and structured shape that creates a striking decorative effect while offering the same aromatic and culinary qualities as traditional rosemary. With a height of 45 cm and a pot diameter of 14 cm, it is perfect for balconies, terraces, urban vegetable gardens, or as an elegant accent in your Mediterranean garden. In spring and summer, it is adorned with small blue-violet nectar-rich flowers that attract bees and pollinators. Enjoy a decorative aromatic plant that flavors your dishes while beautifying your outdoor space.
Exposure & location
The Rosmarinus officinalis enjoys full sun with generous bright exposure. The more sun it receives, the more aromatic its foliage and abundant its flowering will be.
- Exposure: full sun (at least 6 hours per day).
- Ideal: sunny balcony, terrace, urban vegetable garden, Mediterranean garden, or south-facing windowsill.
- Temperature: -10 to 35 °C, hardy and resilient.
- Soil: light, draining, and poor; Mediterranean potting mix with sand or perlite.
Verdeia tip: rosemary hates stagnant moisture — make sure to have excellent drainage to avoid root rot.
Watering & care
- Watering: moderate; let the soil dry out between waterings.
- Frequency: about 1-2 times per week in summer, greatly reduced in winter.
- Drainage: essential — use a pot with holes and very draining soil.
- Humidity: tolerates dry air, no need for misting.
- Fertilizer: once a month in spring-summer with diluted liquid fertilizer for Mediterranean plants.
- Pruning: prune lightly after flowering to maintain the compact ball shape.
Rosemary prefers poor soil — avoid excess fertilizer which encourages foliage over aroma.
