You'd be hard-pressed to find an easier to grow, more versatile herb than rosemary. Originally grown in the Mediterranean, this herb has a bush-like growth habit and works beautifully as a landscape plant, either in pots or in the ground. In the kitchen, it adds flavor to a wide variety of recipes. Harvest the tender stems often for the best results and use them right away; rosemary, unlike other herbs, has a stronger flavor when fresh than when dried.
