The Rosemary is known (and loved) as a garden patio plant for its fragrance and culinary use. This beautiful plant is part of the Lamiaceae (or 'mint') family of plants, just like many other herbs such as basil and lavender plants. These fragrant mediterranean herb plants don't typically do well in frost but can survive mild winter temperatures up to about -7 degrees celsius. If you keep yours in the garden year round be sure to protect it from cold damage in winter months. If it gets very cold where you live, make sure to bring your plant indoors. You can even transplant into a pot if your rosemary is planted in your garden. Make sure to do that in late fall, before the real cold sets in. Rosemary plants like lots of sunlight and cooler temperatures so find the brightest spot in the house.
