Rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus) is a woody, perennial herb native to the Mediterranean region. It is known for its fragrant, needle-like leaves and its culinary and medicinal uses. Pruning rosemary bushes is essential for maintaining their health, shape, and productivity.
Regular pruning encourages new growth, improves air circulation, and helps prevent disease. It also promotes bushier growth and helps to keep the plant from becoming leggy. Pruning can be done at any time of year, but it is best to do it in late winter or early spring, before new growth begins.
