I had seen this plant at Site One Landscapes in Apex 3 months ago and thought it was beautiful. They have them in 3 gal containers but I was still concerned since we have gone through some extreme dry conditions and now some heavy rain days. I went out today to look at what they have and almost all were healthy and great looking specimens. The oils and fragrance of the needles is amazing. Now I'll need to select a location where it will thrive but also near enough for me and my wife to clip some for cooking. Tomorrow, I plan to cook some lamb shanks with an assortment of vegetables from my wife's garden and I will definitely include some of the rosemary in the tagine. The aroma is so strong that I may plant it near my hosta to see if it deters the deer on our lot. I saw that Home Depot has a container size 1/2 the size of this one for more money than I paid. I have an account with Site One but my discount rate is not extreme. Very pleased with my plants and the cost at Site One. Thanks, Jim for the great information.
I wish I had seen this before I planted 3 beautiful “Barbecue Rosemary” they’re absolutely beautiful and thriving … until I find out they may not be hardy enough for zone 7b/TN. My first year of living and planting in this zone (originally from zone 10) and learning so much from your channel. Wondering if I should harvest it all and dehydrate for kitchen use, or let it go through the winter and see how we come out in the Spring.
I have a difficult time ever finding many of the southern living plant collections online available. I have spent lots of time keeping notifications of which shrubs i want but still not many available. I really want to use what you suggest .
I looked closely at my Chef's Choice tag today and it is called "Roman Beauty". I have not researched that name yet but I will now to see if it is sold by anyone other than Southern Living.
I love when they are bloomed. ❤

Rosemary is also good for pollinators.

The southern living plant collection website has a feature that allows you to search for retailers near you.

Can you give me the name of that rosemary please. My one is not flavorful enough for cooking. Thank you !
