Salem
B tier
Salem is a semi-upright, cold-tolerant rosemary with good culinary density—balanced between hedge types and compact pots. Flavour is clean pine-resin suitable for everyday roasting and breads. A solid all-round garden rosemary where extreme trailing or giant hedges are not wanted. Strips well for weeknight cooking.
