Salem Rosemary

Salem rosemary is one of the upright varieties of rosemary. It is edible but also works well as both a hedge and as an ornamental plant. Growing between 1 and 3 feet tall and 16 to 24 inches wide, it must be planted in full sun and get a moderate amount of moisture. It needs soil that has good drainage.

Salem has a strong flavor for marinades, breads, and pastries. It is easy to grow, being a hybrid with a better tolerance of humid climates than others. It is a perennial in zones 7 through 9, but makes a perfect container plant or annual in colder climates.

  • full sun (six to eight hours)

Soil pH

  • 6.0 to 7.0

Hardiness Zones
