Rosemary

Genus: Rosmarinus.

Species: Rosmarinus officinalis.

Bought this just tiny and have been taking tender care. I've had a death every winter with this herb on other overwintering attempts, but this year it as been getting along really well. I did not repot as it grew and did not take any trimmings. I think due to the tiny size, it needs a year or two to establish. It is getting strong light in a part shade position from the sodium lamp. Winter shoots are a little lighter and longer and I plan to trim back in spring once more growth begins again.
