Positive renwings On Oct 7, 2006, renwings from Sultan, WA (Zone 8a) wrote:

Very attractive shape. The flavor is excellent for cooking. Long, straight stems are quite sturdy.
As far as hardiness goes, I don't know about the zone 5 rating, the tag from the nursery which came with the plant indicates its hardy down to 0 degrees. But that is still excellent for Rosemary!

ETA:
This past winter we had a very cold spell. The overnight temperature got down in the teens and we nearly had a foot of snow that stuck for more than a week. This rosemary survived with a little bit of damage on the tips, but bloomed nonetheless.
