Pruned annually, it’s great where space is tight, such as in small sunny courtyards, patios and containers. It makes an attractive centrepiece for a herb garden or herb container and earns its keep in flower borders by providing year-round evergreen structure and scent. Rosemary is a type of sage, so is ideal for growing alongside other sages and similar shrubby Mediterranean herbs, such as lavender, thyme and hyssop. Even with regular trimming, it is often best to replace rosemary every five years or so with a new young plant, and luckily it’s very easy to grow from cuttings. Left unpruned, it can become straggly and bare at the base. Rosemary is drought-tolerant once established and needs little maintenance, apart from clipping annually to keep it compact and bushy. There are several varieties with different styles of growth, ranging from upright to trailing. Rosemary is a small to medium-sized shrub, growing to about 1.5m (5ft) tall after five to ten years, but it can be pruned to keep it much smaller.
