Hi All,



My rosemary bush does not produce those nice rosemary stems you get in the grocery store. But instead, nasty tasting, bark like leaves.



Is there a special type of rosemary plant your for eating/cooking? I think I may have planted an ornamental bush.



Am I missing something?

There are a LOT of rosemary varieties out there. Some have very stiff branching, and other have moderate to soft branching. The latter is what I prefer to grow for culinary use.

it is out in the open next to my garlic patch

I find wandering the suburb and testing what I see on my travels gives me a much better idea of what I want. When I see what I want my next trip is with a pair of secateurs and a door knock to take a cutting. I haven't been refused yet
