Rosemary is a timeless Mediterranean herb valued for its woody aroma, needle-like leaves, and versatile uses in cooking, medicine, and aromatherapy. Its fragrant sprigs bring fresh flavor to meats, breads, and teas, while also being prized for their natural oils and soothing properties.
In Trinidad’s tropical climate, rosemary grows well as a hardy shrub in pots, planters, or garden beds, offering both culinary convenience and ornamental beauty with its upright form and small blue-lavender flowers.
