Rosemary ‘Ginger’ is a compact, evergreen shrub with slender, dark green leaves that release a subtle ginger fragrance when touched. From mid-spring through summer — and often into autumn — it produces delicate light-blue and white flowers that attract bees and pollinators.
Highly aromatic and versatile, ‘Ginger’ rosemary adds an intriguing twist to both garden and kitchen. Its fragrant leaves can be used fresh or dried to flavour roasts, marinades, and herbal teas — offering a gentler, slightly spiced aroma compared to traditional rosemary.
