Rosemary is a tender perennial shrub that overwinters on the West Coast but dies in other, colder parts of North America. The silver lining for non-West Coast gardeners that want to enjoy its wonderful aroma year-round is that it adapts well to container living. Some gardeners will transplant rosemary outdoors to indoors and back again every year. For less hassle, place a young plant in an oversized container filled with good starting soil and leave it indoors year-round in a sunny but relatively cool location.
Treat your rosemary to a biweekly misting, as it is native to the coast. Its name (ros-marinus) means dew of the sea. Use rosemary to effuse warmth into hearty breads and soups for winter.
