Chef’s Choice® Culinary Rosemary - Rosemary officinalis

[@AliciaS57]

Never thought of Rosemary as an ornamental shrub. I like how full this one looks. Love it in cooking so it’s a win win.

[@jmcaulay577]

I love this plant especially when cooking chicken, lamb or fish. The heavier “branches” make great skewers. Soak in water and put through chicken tenders or pieces of lamb or fish and grill. Mother Earth has given us some wonderful plants and this is one of them.

[@amynelsongreen3243]

Love this for the blue-green color and the texture value in the landscape!

[@lindavan5330]

Mmmmm. Love the smell of Rosemary. We have it all over the neighborhood.

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

I absolutely love Rosemary in my garden 🪴

[@bstlaur4567]

I planted one last year and it’s done really well in 7B. After watching your video I plan on getting more! TY

[@doctortcbkk2027]

I love the smell of rosemary in the garden

[@christinezuercher6294]

Rosemary Beach on the panhandle of Florida is just spectacular in how they use it for ornamental use

[@larryhibbert2480]

Love rosemary in the garden always green and fragrant. Cook with it all the time.

[@camilasouza-pu9338]

So thankful for this channel! It’s my go to every day.

[@despi9646]

Thanks for the tip when integrating rosemary into the landscape.

[@passepartoot]

The horticulture gods have decided rosemary is now a sage. Its official species is _Salvia rosmarinus_ . That’s why you like it, Jim. This selection perfumes the kitchen as well as the garden. Its flavoring my roasted potatoes right now.

[@katiekane5247]

The plant folks have been busy! Hard to keep up with.

[@kathrynmettelka7216]

I really, really love this plant too! Linda Vater grows and recommended it, so I got one and your recommendation confirms it's superiority. I now have a small one in a pot as I look for the best spot to put it. If you have ever eaten at the legendary Mosca's outside New Orleans, the restaurant makes a chicken dish that my husband can almost replicate with this rosemary.

[@gardenplantswithjimputnam8653]

Sounds like I should go to that restaurant or your place for dinner. 🤣

[@kathrynmettelka7216]

@@gardenplantswithjimputnam8653 Either one. We're in Austin near Zilker Park, but Mosca's also has baked oysters and sauted shrimp that we are still trying to figure out. It's the kind of restaurant where you can see a Porsche parked next to a pickup. And Happy Mardi Gras! The season begins with the celebration of the gits of the Magi.

[@lilyw.1788]

Is this grown from seed ?

[@Zil_Senczy]

I bought this because you recommended it and it does sooo well! All the other rosemary's have been much more finicky!

[@kellytoycow]

Not sure how I missed this channel update, but glad I found it! I’ve got rosemary planned for my deck herb garden - so yay! Now I know what variety search for!

[@suebenedict1988]

I absolutely love the aroma in my garden!

[@colleenherrington3460]

Lovely foliage 🌱

[@stephaniejohnson2937]

Oh, I love rosemary…I cook with it but putting it in my floral arrangements is something I love to do

[@danaconn6870]

I love your other channel and could not understand why you started this channel…. But now I do! I like learning about individual plants and it will be really easy to reference these videos. Thanks Jim!

[@cristinanderson4767]

Zone 7 New Jersey and my rosemary does great. I think I’m going to add two more to my patio bed. This video is giving me so many ideas. Can’t wait for this cold wearing to move on.

[@adambrown856]

Going to be adding this in a pot to my new landscape! Love the smell of this rosemary!

[@sweetdudeword]

I have two varieties of rosemary that came with us when we moved. This cultivar sounds like it would be a great addition. Yours is a beautiful specimen. Thanks Jim for the information!

[@juliannetaylor9989]

Great idea setting up another channel with these plant showcase videos! My rosemary actually has two flowers on it this spring😳!

[@davidrosales6496]

Thank you for all the videos Jim!

[@graylagran7443]

the rosemary is beautiful! i agree - it makes a great ornamental plant - i have one in my front flowerbed next to azalea.

[@9abfab]

Great video and info on my favorite garden herb. Here in Florida, rosemary also helps deter mosquitoes - a lovely bonus!

[@johannawilson3807]

So glad to hear about this specific rosemary. I have a variety that is totally out of hand. Need to pull it up and restart with a more compact variety. Chef’s choice it is! Thank you!

[@JKPWhat]

Have two of these flanking a walkway - love the smell as I walk by and the dogs brush it.

[@maryjohnson1393]

I have always planted my Rosemary in a pot. This year I am going to buy this and plant in the ground. Thank you for all the information.

[@susansykes1234]

Great tip. Going to plant a raised bed with herbs. This rosemary will be at the top of my list.

[@tracybolger1285]

Love the scent!

[@ashleighnelson512]

I love having rosemary in my garden, so fragrant and hardy (here in zone 7b). The pollonators love the flowers in the winter as there aren't many flowering plants nearby this time of year. I hope someday to take advantage of your consult services, I am trying to expand my pollinator plant selection🌻🦋🐝🐛🐞🌺

[@cindyjensen1024]

This is a beautiful plant and so useful!

[@carolhickman4616]

I''ve grown rosemary for years but never knew about Chief's Choice. I'll look for it this year and I may use as a hedge around my herb garden, which is right outside my back door. Thanks for the information. Love all your videos, I've really learned a lot from them.

[@sherryj2]

Oh my son wants an herb garden and I will have to share this with him. Oh I hope you tell us about that little conifer back behind it too! Thanks for the video!

[@mommylove0629]

This rosemary would look beautiful in my front yard.

[@jennifernash4638]

I planted a couple rosemary this past season and I am really impressed with them so far. I have them at the top of a small slope along my entryway and they seem very happy there.

[@patriciagarner2732]

I'm putting Chef's Choice on my list to buy!

[@mt2766]

Love this Rosemary. By the description, I think this is the one I planted along my garage wall. I planted several to create a fragrant hedge. Grows well in 12a, but lost one in the winter after a deluge of rain.

[@lynamsden7681]

Thank you for your informative videos. I want every plant you talk about lol.

[@marct2168]

I planted one of these this past fall based on your other video. Enjoyed hearing a little more detail in this one.

[@barbarawalker9403]

I appreciate this channel. Haven’t had great results with other Rosemary but will certainly try this one. I need your garden consult on this double yard I have. 🤞🤞🤞

[@daisyhernandez5024]

I'm growing this plant this year, I'm using the winter sowing method. I hope it works 🤞

[@assomptaalbertini1727]

Years ago I saw Ina Garten (Barefoot Contessa) grow Rosemary and knew I had a chance for my rosemary to be a perennial. I planted 3 different one and one has survived for the last 6 years in my 7B zone where the temperature easily dips to the 20’s (quite often but feels like the 10’s). I usually have to cut the dead branches if we had many cold nights in the 10’s but it grows back. I recently cut it as it was overgrown at 4’ due to the unusual warm temperature. One of the best plants for cooking!

[@jenniferblevins5023]

Will be adding to my herb garden!

[@kbea]

I think we have one of these along the back of the house. It was here when we moved in. Great info!

[@andreadelange57]

First plant that went in our brand new kitchen garden.

[@SheriShea1]

Since watching you I have planted several of these, love the smell!!!

[@SheriShea1]

And Deer 🦌Resistance

[@jenniferj.9973]

Hope I'm able to find one of these next year! Finally ready to start my herb garden!

[@donnahogan2999]

I love my rosemary bush. I have it in a pot outside zone 7a. I think I will plant it into the soil in a more sunny area now that I’ve watched your video.

[@dukeandhiscatz6621]

I love rosemary! I have one that’s 4 years old in zone 7a.

[@brendadenton5781]

thank you for all your great information

[@marymorris1030]

Learned so much. Love to use Rosemary.

[@mathological3540]

I had no idea about the amount of oil in this plant being more so than others. I keep learning new things on this channel which I enjoy. I am glad that you mentioned the use as just another ornamental plant because, yes, I keep thinking this as an herb garden only plant.

[@floweringacre3079]

I love that Rosemary. I think I’ll have to get one this year!

[@zeroibis]

Will be the next rosemary we get for sure. Our current one grew out of control and this looks much easier to keep small. Interesting about the zone becuase ours is completely unprotected 7a but is full sun.

[@RevAcres01]

Love this plant use in my landscape zone 10a. No fuss!!!

[@judybingham2333]

Another very informative video. I'm enjoying your new channel. I'm definitely going to consider adding this plant.

[@amandahagy1940]

I’m going to push my luck and try Rosemary in my 7a garden this year.

[@loriledner6528]

I always kill my rosemary🙁 I love it and will keep trying. Great video. Thank you !!

[@annebroyles]

I use this in my garden for the foliage and to deter deer next to plants they like.

[@bxr9264]

Love Rosemary. I have them scattered throughout my landscape. Perfect with my Hollywood and Blue Point Junipers. BTW: LOVE THE STAT SHEET!

[@junecaldwell7797]

I really enjoy your videos. I have learned a lot

[@msroro3127]

I think I may need to add this to my yard.

[@queen_sophie7515]

I love your channel and find it very informative. Could you please do a couple more videos on plants that are more hardy. I live in 6b NY. I would love to see a video with your favorite hardier flower and evergreens. Thank you for all your information. You have taught me so much.

[@aalejardin]

Ditto here for 6b NY. I was smitten years ago by the camellias at Kew (they were seriously huge and flowering in early March). You have inspired me to try some of the hardier cultivars. However, not sure I know what I am doing....

[@carolfutch8534]

Hi Jim, i see your beautiful farfugium japonicum in the background. Do you have a video highlighting this plant? Did you plant your farfugium japonicum from seed? I would love to see anything you have about this plant. I have seeds and hope to plant then this spring. I'm in zone 8A. Thank you so much, I love your videos and your new channel!

[@stephaniejohnson2937]

I have to look for this one for sure!!!

[@kimr4005]

Great video

[@chrystinavest1520]

I’ll definitely consider growing it this year. I use a ton of it at Thanksgiving and on my prime rib on Christmas Eve! Fresh from my back yard has to be better than those tiny packs at the grocery stores!

[@andrewjbernius]

My Chef's Choice is holding up well in a very exposed location Zone 7B Maryland. It looks great.

[@sandhyahira4970]

I really like this plant and have had success growing it except after the last arctic storm that hit Central Texas, Rosemary didn’t make it. I have since gotten two more plants and put them in pots, one didn’t make it and the other seems to be barely surviving. When I move the pots in full sun the plant looks wilted even after getting watered. I guess I haven’t been able to find a happy place in my yard for it to thrive

[@billieoakley150]

Thanks for the helpful information on Rosemary in Zone 7b. I have several bushes in my large yard and they are doing well. I would love to have a consultation from you. My garden is in Roxboro, NC.

[@LinusCello75]

Mark Weathington did a YT episode before the holidays on herbs for JC Raulston. For rosemary he mentioned using them as skewers. Don Shor of the Davis Gardening Show podcast really loves the Chef’s choice series of tomatoes.

[@TheBbear13]

Rosemary is on my list this year, but I live in zone 6 so I'll have to try a different one. I would love one that stays small.

[@douggreene4458]

Beautiful plant. I had not considered just for landscaping, but will now. Does it ever bloom?

[@robbiecarver6879]

You need smella vision Jim. Love my rosemary . I use the flowers off the rosemary for garnish.

[@elsajenels3076]

Thanks so much for highliting this special herb. I have a house in Eastern TN that I want to put in three of these, I wonder if size matters as far as rooting in?

[@silvering14]

I think my potted rosemary got zapped this winter. I will have to keep an eye out for this variety and find a sheltered spot for it in my 7a yard!

[@melissaturner7236]

Thanks Jim. I’ve been experimenting with herbs as ornamentals and plan to try rosemary in a container this year. I used thyme last year to underplant in some of my containers that have shrubs and was really pleased with how it filled in. The lemon thyme was really fragrant and very low maintenance. I would also like to try Kent oregano, which is a beautiful ornamental but can’t seem to find it here in Ontario, Canada, zone 5b.

[@gardenplantswithjimputnam8653]

I'm a big fan of just blending it all together!

[@sandysimpson878]

We love rosemary. Will have to hunt this one

[@mrm5480]

One on your St. John Wart would be great!

[@pbandjayable]

Currently have some lemon rosemary but I’ll definitely be getting one of these in the spring! Loving this new channel!-thank you for all of the great content✨

[@gardenplantswithjimputnam8653]

Thank you very much for following along!

[@CB-sr8ee]

Wow it’s larger than I would have thought.

[@onething247]

Any pruning tips? We have one that has spread pretty wide. Would like to perhaps tighten it up a bit. Great videos. Thanks Jim.

[@gardenplantswithjimputnam8653]

I would prune it pretty hard in the early spring. It will recover fast.

[@jordynekrumroy1738]

Love this!

[@katiekane5247]

I finally got some Lavender to be happy. Gonna def try this Rosemary! Btw, the Farfugium behind you is stealing the show

[@karenj4268]

I have a huge plant that is potted. I am going to try in the ground this summer zone 9b Fl. What month should I plant it? Love your videos, I learn a lot on them.

[@bbcamillo]

Ours has loved leaving its pot, since putting it in the ground.

[@amyp8833]

I have planted rosemary many places in my yard. It's one of my deer- and rabbit-deterrent attempts. Haven't seen anything eat it, but I was hoping it would keep the critters away from adjacent plantings as well. No luck with that! Also, the rosemary I have planted is not a lovely green, although all of them were when first bought. Over time, they've turned more grayish with tiny red specks. Not very appetizing-looking for cooking with. Guesses as to what's ailing them?

[@sharmaaitken5314]

I have this plant and would love to have a consultation with you! Thanks,

[@mariebarnes416]

We have Rosemary growing in our yard and I've cut it back many times. It's hardy and keeps growing back.

[@tasharaeconley7274]

I’m wondering if my Rosemary will come back this year. I was told that it will not come back in Montana. So we’ll see. Rosemary smells amazing! What’s your favorite plant to repel mosquitoes? One that’s a perennial in Montana (59301). I’ve been told lemongrass is good but does that require many plants of lemongrass? Any other plants you suggest for repelling mosquitoes? Thank you:-)

[@jeanniecollier6763]

Love Rosemary, but mine seem to never get full - only leggy and woody!

[@juliadolce3798]

Do you know where I can get them as seeds would be perfect for me

[@beckyscheller9358]

Love rosemary but have to bring in for the winter (zone 5 )here. Have trouble keeping it alive tho. Any suggestions? Usually buy a new one each year love to cook with it

[@emilyjabrawn9703]

I don't think I've ever seen Rosemary listed as a specific type (i.e. Chef's Choice). I've just always seen it with the herbs and vegetables.

[@nicolegreenough961]

Although this Rosemary likes to be a bit drier how does it handle the humidity? I am in SE Louisiana zone 9a and some stuff is just not cut out for the summers here.

[@kel_raiser]

I've been growing this plant in a container and it keeps getting invaded by ants. Is that a common problem or am I doing something wrong?

[@jennifermcduffie6889]

Would this be suitable to plant on a slope?

[@julietavarron7401]

I bought this plant last year and so far it appears fine in a pot in my pateo (for maximum sun light ) …how long may I leave/keep it in a pot ? Or do rosemary live longer and healthier in ground? I’ve not had much luck with the other type of rosemary variety. Thanks .
