Agronomic aspects: this aromatic shrub native to the
Mediterranean basin, where it has been used since ancient times,
is cultivated for food (it is a prized condiment), pharmaceutical
natural habit
(perfumery and medicinal preparations) and ornamental purposes.
Rosemary grows in temperate to warm-temperate climates, in light,
permeable and sandy-clayey soils; prefers exposure at noon; It is a
drought-tolerant species. It reproduces by seeds, by division of
stems or cuttings. The first method is not advisable because it is
more complex in relation to multiplication by cuttings, the fastest
and safest means of reproduction; To do this, branches about 15
cm long, well developed, are chosen and planted at half height;
This work is carried out during the month of August. The following
spring the branches will have taken root and will be ready to be
transplanted. If the harvest is intended for essential oil distillation, it
should be done in early spring, when the plant is in full bloom. The
collection for herbalism is done in February by cutting the branches
at a minimum height of 30 cm from the ground. The leaves dry in
the shade.
