'Barbeque' Rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus'Barbeque') is a versatile, upright evergreen shrub specially cultivated for its strong, thick, straight woody stems, which are ideal for use as rustic, flavor-infused skewers for meats and vegetables. It features aromatic, needle-like green leaves with a subtle peppery-lemon flavor, ideal for grilling.
Key Features and Care:
    • Flavor/Usage:
      Excellent for cooking, particularly with lamb, potatoes, and kabobs.
  • Growth: Grows fast to roughly 6 ft tall and 2-4 ft wide, featuring light blue flowers from summer through fall.
  • Hardiness: Considered more cold-hardy than other varieties.
  • Conditions: Thrives in full sun, well-drained soil, and is drought-tolerant once established.
  • Maintenance: Easy to maintain, deer and rabbit resistant, and suitable for hedges or containers.

  • Usage Tips:
    • Skewers: Strip the lower leaves, leaving a small tuft at the top, to use as kebabs.
    • Flavor Profile: Less resinous than standard rosemary, allowing for a better flavor pairing on the grill.
    • Care: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry between waterings, and prune in early spring to keep it bushy
