Gorizia Rosemary

Gorizia gets its name from well-known author and herb specialist Tom DeBaggio, who introduced the variety while in Gorizia, Italy. He describes its aroma as “gentle, sweet and a bit gingery”, though we find it has some dark pepper notes. Its growth habit is towering and upright, and it produces unusually large, wide, flat, bright green leaves. Gorizia presents pale blue blossoms by late winter into summer. Overall, Gorizia rosemary is valued by gardeners and cooks due to its robust aesthetic and harvest. Prefers dry to moderately watered, well-drained soil. Gorizia will tolerate partial shade; though for most flavour—prefers full sun. Ht 6-8ft (180-240cm). Spread 4-5ft (120-150cm).
