Rosemaries
Rosmarinus officinalis
''As for rosemary I lette it runne all over my garden walls, not onlie because my bees love it, but because it is the herb sacred to remembrance and to friendship.''
Sir Thomas More.
This is a herb originating from the clifftops of the Mediterranean, from around southern France and Spain to Corsica, Sardinia, Siciily and Greece. The Latin name Rosmarinus means 'dew of the sea' and rosemary was once so prolific in southern France that John Evelyn, the famous English diarist, wrote in the 17th century that the bushes 'are credibly reported to give their scent above 30 leagues off at sea.'
This evergreen shrub with its dense miniature pine-like foliage and refreshing resinous scent is treasured as a cooking ingredient to add zing to a wide range of Mediterranean dishes from griled meats and fish (such as sardines), hearty winter soups, and roasted lamb and chicken, to such delicacies as rosemary icecream (a specialty in Nice on the Cote d'Azur). All varieties of rosemary can be used for this purpose with the exception of 'Pine' which has a strong sweet camphoraceous note (making it ideal for insect repellent mixtures), but varieties such as 'Bush', 'Tuscan Blue', 'Herb Cottage', 'Pink Provence' , 'Portuguese Pink', 'Salem', 'Majorca Pink', 'Sissinghurst White', and 'Gorizia' are among the best. After stripping the leaves from the stems when cooking, save and dry the stems to burn on winter fires and add fragrance to the house. Fresh or dried rosemary leaves are an excellent ingredient for simmering pot pourris too, especially at Christmas time when they fill the house with resinous green pine fragrance.
In addition to their culinary and fragrance qualities, rosemary varieties are invaluable landscaping plants for Mediterranean climate gardens, gardens in drier areas, and balcony and patio pot grown gardens. Along the Mediterranean coast, they are used very widely as a salt and drought resistant planting for hedges, spillovers on walls and banks, and to fill terracotta urns. Rosemary takes readily to regular clipping and has been used in topiary work since Roman times. It appreciates a pH that is neutral to slightly alkaline, though we have huge old bushes growing in fairly acidic basaltic mountain soil on well drained sunny terraces at Honeysuckle Cottage. Add lime or dolomite to your soil to make it more alkaline (a handful per square metre is usually sufficient), or better still place bits of broken concrete rubble around the base of the plant. They will release lime into the soil everytime it rains or whenever you water the bush. While rosemary is drought resistant, it should receive some water regularly particularly in summer and if grown in a pot. It rarely recovers from severe drying out.
Rosemary is also treasured for its massed display of beautiful, lipped flowers that are so attractive to bees. We find the flowers irresistable, reminding us of wonderful sunny days in Provence surrounded by the fragrance of wild herbs and salt-laden breezes, sky and sea both a glittering intense blue, and long lazy picnic lunches with crusty baguettes, rough textured country paté, opulently melting Brie cheese, fragrant white peaches, wild strawberries, and a bottle of good local wine...Sigh! Those same flowers are excellent for attracting bees and ensuring pollination of fruit trees and vegetables.
Medicinally, rosemary is both antiseptic and antioxidant, and is used by herbalists for migraine, depression, stress related digestive problems, and to improve memory. The essential oil of rosemary diluted in olive oil (or olive oil in which branches of the fresh herb have been soaked for a week) is a traditional massage for sciatica and rheumatism. Two cups of very concentrated rosemary tea added to the bath is used to relieve tiredness, aching muscles, and tension. As a confirmed antioxidant, rosemary is considered useful in enhancing immune system function when it has been suppressed by stress, for improving memory, and in retarding ageing. Gerard, the much respected Elizabethan herb authority, wrote in his famous Herbal that rosemary 'comforteth the hart and maketh it merrie, quickeneth the spirits and maketh them more lively'.
We now offer Twenty gloriously fragrant and beautiful varieties, many of them rare, for all those sunny places in your garden, in large pots, topiary, and fragrant informal or formal hedges.

Sissinghurst White or White Flowered or Albus
There is a legend that the rosemary was once white, but that the Virgin Mary, during the flight of the Holy Family to Egypt, spread her blue cape to dry over a rosemary bush and the flowers remained blue for ever more. But the exquisite white rosemary that welcomes visitors in two huge pots at the entrance to Sissinghurst, perhaps England's best known and loved garden, proves spectacularly that white flowered rosemay still exists. The masses of delicate white blossoms are matched by the extremely fragrant foliage. It is equally valuable as a culinary herb and as a gloriously fragrant garden plant. Rare.

Thymes
We love thymes so much that we have written an illustrated book about them, now selling around the world. If you would like a copy of 'Country Thyme' it
is $22.50 including postage and packing within Australia. (Please email for overseas mailing cost.)
In the garden, thymes fall into two major groups, those that spread over the ground forming a dense mat, and those that form neat little subshrubs. For those with small gardens or limited mobility, a garden of thymes in pots makes a wonderful hobby that is almost inexhaustible. There are around 350 species and infinitely more cultivars and hybrids with a huge range of delicious fragrances. Save some seeds from your collection of plants. The bees will have mixed things up and you may well raise some wonderful new and fragrant forms. The seed is small, so only cover them very lightly with well seived soil and keep them moist. Let us know your success! We once raised a mint scented form of Caraway Thyme.
Give all thymes a sunny, well drained, but regularly watered position. Many thymes have good drought hardiness as would be expected from their predominantly Mediterranean Basin origins. Thymes are also notably frost hardy. Many have have a wide range of culinary uses. All are exceptionally pretty in flower with dense heads of little lipped flowers, and as everyone knowns, thyme and fairies are inseparaable. Why not make a small thyme lawn with a central sundial as a garden project? Thyme also signifies courage and energy, and the sweethearts of medieval knights often embroidered a symbolic sprig on a scarf for their departing lover. Perhaps a few of the varieties listed below will make you or someone you love feel enthused and energised with thyme's fragrance and magic. Use the shrubby thymes like Westmoreland Thyme, Lemon Thyme, Oregano Thyme, lemon scented 'Silver Queen', and thyme scented 'Silver Posi', and the delightfully scented 'Fragrantissimus' or 'Orange' thyme to edge paths and impart fragrance as you pass by.
Apart from their culinary value, some species find use medicinally.Some are used as antifungal treatments eg. high phenolic strains of T. serpyllum , or as antibacterials eg. T. pulegioides, T. vulgaris, or as antioxidants eg. T. vulgaris, or as antimutagens eg. T. vulgaris (due to the presence of the compound luteolen). The essential oils are extracted for this purpose, particularly in France and Spain, from field grown varieties selected for their chemical composition.
But for most of us, thyme is one of those indispensible aromatic culinary herbs. Its scent is powerful and can easily dominate a dish so use this herb with discretion. Its savoury fragrance is wonderful in soups, casseroles, baked in breads and cheese scones, and as one of the pizza herbs. Oregano Thyme is sensational with any southern Italian dish, and sprinkled over salads. Bake scaled and gutted fish in foil with a little sea salt and freshly ground pepper, olive oil, and slices of lemon and sprigs of lemon thyme tucked into the cavity. Delicious. Sprigs of lemon thyme are very refreshing tucked into home made lemonade jingling with ice, and add a delicious flavour to hot or iced tea. Caraway thyme adds wonderful flavour, used in the old way rubbed into beef before roasting, or as an addition to cookies. Pot roasts and roasted chicken marry very well with thymes like Thym de Provence and the wonderful Westmoreland Thyme.

Caraway Thyme or Seedcake Thyme
Thymus herba-barona
This species gained its name from its old use in flavouring a roast baron of beef. It is a native of Corsica, an island off the French Mediterranean coast and generally considered to be the centre of origin of thymes, and the neighbouring island of Sardinia.It is a narrow-leafed matting thyme with a very distinctive and delicious scant of caraway seed. The flowers are prolific and lavender-pink.
