Rosemary Oil Plant Source and History
Known as "Dew of the Sea," rosemary is a perennial woody spice plant native to the Mediterranean Basin. Its stems, leaves, and flowers can all be used to extract aromatic oil. Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) belongs to the Lamiaceae family and is an evergreen shrub. Young stems are square-shaped and covered with white, star-shaped hairs, while older stems are brown and woody. The leaves are dark green on the top, smooth, and silvery white with fine hairs and glandular scales on the underside. Rosemary flowers are blue-purple. Varieties include European Rosemary, White Rosemary, Santa Barbara Rosemary, Broadleaf Rosemary, Pink Rosemary, Blue Suffolk Rosemary, and Yellow-Spotted Rosemary.
Rosemary is native to North Africa, the Mediterranean coast, and Europe. It was introduced to China during the Cao Wei period and is now cultivated throughout the country. Rosemary is not tolerant of waterlogging; excessive rain can cause yellowing and leaf drop. It has poor cold resistance and should be covered with soil in northern China during winter. It prefers sunlight but can also grow in partial shade. Indoor window sills are ideal for growing rosemary.
Rosemary is a valuable natural spice plant that emits a pleasant fragrance during its growing season. Its flowers and young stems produce aromatic oil used in air fresheners, perfumes, soaps, and other cosmetic ingredients.
