Native to the Mediterranean, rosemary is an evergreen shrub that can grow to six feet tall. The leaves and flowering tops of rosemary can be used fresh, dried or distilled for their essential oils. A relative of basil and oregano, it belongs to the Labiatae family and has been cultivated since ancient times for use in medicine.
