* Rosemary - a popular essential oil plant since antiquity; the Greeks dedicated it to the goddess Venus. It was believed that charming rosemary makes a person cheerful and happy, relieves bad dreams and preserves youth. For a long time, it has been a favorite spice in Mediterranean countries.
In the wild, rosemary is found in Southern Europe. In regions with a warm climate, rosemary grows in open ground in one place for up to 20 years, reaching a height of 2 meters. Tall rosemary bushes are often grown in hedges, and creeping forms - on an alpine slide.
Rosemary (Rosmarinus) - a hardy evergreen, non-frost-resistant shrub of the Lamiaceae family with small leathery leaves and racemose inflorescences of blue, white or pink flowers. An essential oil used in perfumery and medicine is obtained from the fragrant needle-like leaves and flowering shoots of rosemary. Flowers and leaves are also used as a spice in cooking (infusing wine and vinegar, as a savory seasoning for meat and marinades), for baths and as an insecticide (anti-moth agent). In folk medicine, rosemary is a good remedy for weak digestion and headaches, heart weakness, liver diseases and metabolic disorders; it has a stimulating effect on blood circulation.
Light-loving and heat-loving rosemary is unpretentious in growing, but does not like sharp temperature fluctuations and water stagnation from excessive watering, shedding leaves. For the summer, it is desirable to transplant rosemary from a pot into the garden (in a sunny, warm place protected from the wind) or take it out to a sunny balcony so that the essential oil content does not decrease. In the heat, rosemary requires abundant watering; with a lack of moisture, its lower leaves turn yellow. During the period of mass flowering, young shoots densely covered with hairs with leaves and flowers are cut from rosemary, using them for processing and drying. In spring, autumn and winter, rosemary is kept on a bright windowsill in a cool room (fresh coolness in winter at a temperature of 5-15 degrees ensures the compactness of the bush and abundant flowering); watering is regular, moderate.
The rosemary bush is trimmed in the spring for good tillering, leaving 3-4 internodes of the previous year's growth. If the stems of adult rosemary become bare, then in February-March rejuvenating pruning is carried out (usually every 7 years), cutting off the shoots at the ground surface. Large rosemary bushes can winter in a cold greenhouse or conservatory, a dry cellar or basement.
If rosemary is not planted in the garden for the summer, then, if necessary, in early spring it is transplanted into a fresh substrate; usually transplanted after 2 years, but with a dense root system - annually. Rosemary is transplanted into a slightly larger pot with good drainage and a loose substrate rich in humus. During the period of active vegetation from March to September, rosemary must be fed with mineral and organic fertilizers; it loves calcium.
Rosemary is propagated by cuttings, division of bushes, layering, seeds. Rosemary cuttings, cut in the summer from annual shoots 10 cm long, are buried half in the substrate and mulched with humus; they take root easily. Rosemary seeds are sown in February-March, the seedlings bloom in the second year.
Rosemary is successfully used for growing bonsai: it is easy to form a tree with a dense crown from it. It is believed that the presence of fragrant rosemary in the house has a beneficial effect on unbalanced people and children, relieves anxiety, insomnia and loss of strength.
