How to Select Healthy Rosemary？

When purchasing rosemary, look for bright green leaves without discoloration. Ensure that the plant is free from pests, such as aphids or spider mites, which can be seen on the underside of leaves. The plant should have a strong, upright growth habit with no signs of wilting or excessive legginess. Check the soil, which should be moist but not waterlogged, indicating a well-drained environment. A healthy aroma when leaves are gently squeezed also indicates a vigorous and healthy rosemary.
