- Use
- Strongly resinous, woody and pine-like. According to the RHS, Green Ginger has a ginger-like scent; do not assign an unproven distinct flavour profile to other cultivars.
- Care
- Sunny, sheltered and very well drained. Pots can be protected in severe cold; wet winter soil is a major risk.
- Harvest and flowering
- Cut small, young, green shoots from an established plant. Tough wood is not a pleasant leafy garnish.

Een opgaande plant in een droge border
Rosemary offers much more than one upright little shrub: an upright form can give a herb garden structure, a trailing selection tumbles over a pot edge and a gingery scent makes smelling it interesting again. Choose the shape you want first, then its kitchen use.
- Kies een opgaand ras en een zonnige beschutte plek met goede afwatering.
- Plant op dezelfde diepte als in de kweekpot en geef tot aanslaan water.
- Knip alleen kleine groene jonge scheuten voor de keuken.
- Knip na de bloei licht voor vormbehoud en blijf weg uit kale oude takken.

Een hangende potvorm
A decorative pot is only useful if water can drain freely. Check drainage holes and do not leave the pot in a full saucer all winter. A sheltered, bright position makes assessment easier. Move a young potted plant in good time when a severe cold spell is forecast rather than waiting for visibly damaged leaves.
- Plant een hangend ras zoals Capri in een pot met vrije drainage.
- Plaats de pot hoog genoeg dat takjes over de rand kunnen hangen.
- Controleer de kluit en laat de pot niet langdurig in een nat onderschaaltje staan.
- Bescherm bij strenge koude en nat winterweer in een lichte beschutte omgeving.

How to create your own herb-growing space
Place upright rosemary at the back of a herb container and a trailing form in a tall pot. That difference is visible without forcing the plant into an unnatural shape. You can add Green Ginger as a small trial plant. Rub a leaf between your fingers first and compare its scent with the basic form.

From plant to kitchen
Snip small green tips as needed and watch where the plant makes new shoots. When pruning more heavily, living growth must remain visible. An old, bare branch is not a reliable starting point for regrowth. If desired, take a cutting from a healthy plant in good time, so you can replace a favourite form without a drastic rescue cut.
Plan the next harvest
Proef rozemarijn met een kleine portie geroosterde aardappel. De combinatie maakt een harsig aroma gemakkelijk herkenbaar, maar gebruik aanvankelijk weinig. Een selectie met een andere bloemkleur hoef je niet als een nieuw culinair smaakras te presenteren; de bloemen maken hem al een eigen tuinervaring.
