Herb
White Rosemary
C tier
White rosemary carries white flowers on otherwise normal culinary plants—needle leaves with full pine-resin taste, flowers as pale edible garnish. A subtle ornamental twist on the kitchen shrub. Use leaves as ordinary rosemary. White blooms show well against dark meats and focaccia.
