Growing habits of rosemary

Rosemary likes a warm, humid environment; growth is slow when the temperature is higher, and faster in winter when the weather is clear with no cold spells.

Rosemary has many leaves, which are leathery, so it is fairly drought-tolerant; keeping the soil slightly moist meets its water needs. The soil used for planting should be one with good drainage, which is better for its growth.

Also note that in a natural environment, rosemary grown for many years is a shrub, but potted rosemary kept at home has a smaller plant shape and grows slowly, so it is hard to see it become woody.

The flower language of rosemary

The flower language of rosemary is remembrance and commemoration.

Rosemary is a symbol of love, loyalty and friendship, and its flower language is remembrance, as if saying, I will not forget the promise you gave me; please keep your love for me forever, miss me and think of me.

Abroad, rosemary has another use: Italians throw small sprigs of rosemary into the grave at funerals, representing remembrance of the deceased.
