3. Rosemary: The Resinous Evergreen
Rosemary offers a sharp, pine-like, and invigorating scent that instantly awakens the senses. As a hardy Mediterranean herb, rosemary is incredibly resilient and perfectly suited for low-maintenance container gardening.
The oils concentrate beautifully when the plant experiences slight drought stress, meaning you do not need to hover over it with a watering can. Upright varieties work beautifully as architectural centerpieces in mixed pots, while trailing varieties like Prostratus look stunning spilling over the edges of hanging baskets.
Rosemary requires full sun and lean soil; rich, heavily composted soil actually causes the plant to produce weak, floppy growth with far less essential oil concentration.
