Apparently it can withstand temperatures down to +10F. While most of
our winter weather is above 10, it does occasionally drop down close to
0, and occasionally even colder. I guess that explains why I have to
plant it every year, but the plants are cheap enough and one is more
than enough for my purposes. I like it in lamb and pork and a little
rosemary is great on roasted potatoes.
