Barbecue Rosemary earns its name honestly: a certified organic live 4-inch plant of Salvia rosmarinus that sends up unusually straight, rigid stems clothed in dark needlelike leaves, with blue tubular flowers riding above the foliage.

The narrow upright habit suits a sunny patio pot, a herb planting by the back door, or a loose low hedge along a path where every passing brush releases resin. Strip a mature stem and you have a fragrant skewer for the grill — the reason this selection exists. Give it full sun and lean, fast-draining soil with grit if your ground holds water; once rooted it is genuinely drought-tough and asks for very little.

Grower's note: trim lightly after the early-summer flowers and never cut back into old bare wood, which rarely breaks again. For backups, semi-ripe cuttings from non-flowering shoots root readily in summer and stay true to this upright form.
