Plant ID: Lavender or Rosemary?
Sandy
the farmer claimed were lavender. One didn't survive the winter (zone
6, against a south-facing wall) the other is now a 2.5 ft tall bushy
plant. It hasn't bloomed. I have a suspicion that the plant is not
lavender, but is in fact, rosemary. It is very like rosemary that
I've seen before. I've never grown lavender, so am not sure exactly
what it should be like. I think that they are both in the mint
family, so I can't tell from obvious clues such as square stems. I
believe that lavender leaves are scented and about the same shape as
rosemary leaves.
Does anyone have any ideas of characteristics that might be
diagnositic?
Are there keys to cultivated plants that anyone can recommend? (My
limited experience is that keys only refer to wild plants.)
Thanks!!!!
Sandy

The color of the foliage will be different. Lavenders tend to the slivery
blue-green color and typically the same color on both the top and bottom
surface of the foliage. Rosemary foliage is a true green on top with a
light underside, giving a slivered appearance from a distance.
The easiest way to discern the difference is by fragrance. Lavender
foliage smells like lavender cologne (sweet, grandmotherly) while rosemary
smells...... well, like rosemary! :-)) Pungent and spicy - should make
your mouth water. Rosemary foliage is very strong smelling - the essential
oils which provide the fragrance are far more concentrated in rosemary
than in lavender. Rub your fingers along a stem of rosemary and you will
immediately feel an oily residue.

smells sweeet like a newly opened bar of soap. Rosemary reminds me
of herb used in a soup or Thanksgiving food and has a medicine-like
aroma. Leaves of both plants look similar with the rosemary having
slightly stiffer leaves. Together, these two herbs make nice sachets.

Thanks, Pam! The true green on top and lighter underside describes my
plant. Rosemary it is.
Now I just need to keep it alive this winter :).

MY Rosemary smells more like pine and is as mentioned in
earlier post, pretty oily and hands get kind of sticky
handling it; my Lavender smells like nice clean fresh soap.

of you are confused about what you're growing??
Rosemary: Deep green (that's real green) needle-like leaves. Lots of
different forms from strongly upright to 6 feet to creeping prostrate.
Flowers blue to purple depending on variety, held close to the stem.
Scent, well.... it smells like rosemary.... Kind of piney and
resinous.
Lavender: Lots of species and types. English and French types have
long inflorescenes that rise above the plant with small pale purplish
(lavander, surpirse, surprise) colored flowers. Spanish types have
showier petals and larger flowers. Scent is lavendar-like. If you
don't recognize the differnece between lavender and rosemary scent,
check out the herbs at your local food store. Quite distinctly
different. All lavenders are bluish green, some (french and english)
are pale gray-blue green; others (spanish) are deeper
green-blue-green, but the blue tint is obvious in all. Not so with
rosemary. Every rosemary I've ever seen is green green. Spanish
lavenders are much more resinous than the french and english species
and varieties, and typically much harder to grow. They have mores
substantial form, lacking the light and airy feel of the english
lavenders (Hidcote and the like).
There are pictures all over the web. Have a look. It's just about
impossible to confuse them.

If you can't tell the difference between the scents of rosemary and
lavender, it doesn't really matter what the plant is.
Do a Google image search on both and see what your plant most looks
like.

In zone 6? Surprising it lasted through the winter. It's not supposed
to be hardy here (zone 8), but I had a bush up against a west-facing
brick wall that did well for about 15 years. (Some disease killed it,
not cold.) I would mulch heavily and hope for the best. Rosemary is a
*lovely* plant/herb. BTW, my newish one is "blooming" now -- very
small lavender(!) blossoms amongst the leaves on stem tips.

individual flowers much like thyme. Lavender tends to have dense spikes
of flowers like sage. The flowers of both are small and bilaterally
symmetric.
