Plant history & use
Rosemary is a classic herb from the Mediterranean region with a long history of use in both cooking and traditional medicine. The 'Arp' variety is specially bred to withstand colder climates and is considered one of the most frost-hardy rosemary types – it tolerates temperatures down to about –23 °C in sheltered locations. The leaves are used fresh or dried in everything from bread and marinades to stews, grilled dishes, and herbal tea. Rosemary is also said to have strengthening effects on blood circulation and memory, and is traditionally used as an herb in tea or tinctures.
Cultivation
Plant in a sunny and warm spot in well-drained soil – preferably sandy and lime-rich. 'Arp' can overwinter outdoors in the mildest parts of the country, especially in sheltered, dry locations. Otherwise, it is best grown in a large pot that can be moved to a cool and bright place over winter. Water moderately – does not tolerate standing moisture.
