Is Rosemary and Lavender the same plant, i was in wilkos today and a plant was labelled rosemary/lavender?

I didn't think they were the same? Are they or is Wilkos just thick?

Nope different plants
Reply:They are not the same plant but they are part of the same family and they both put out purple flowers. The official botanical name for rosemary is "rosmarinus officinalis. Rosemary, as it is known to the general population, is part of the mint family of herbs. This family is described as the Labiatae herb family. Other members of the same family include basil, patchouli, lavender, hyssop, myrtle, mint, clary and sage.
Reply:When I was living in Soutehrn France there were large cultivations of lavender and they are certainly different from rosemary.





They both belong to the same family of plants along with some other well known herbs such as oregano, sage, thyme, mint, basil.





Lavender is also used as a herb in France and in potpourris to scent homes and keep out wool eating moths
Reply:Lavender is a low-growing bush. It's aromatic flowers can be used for making pot-pourri.


Rosemary is a herb which as masses of small flowers. Ideally you can use it for cooking with lamb. Or put some sprigs of rosemary inside the cavity of the chicken before you roast it.
Reply:No, it is not the same plant, of both are many varieties, but I've never seen them crossed yet! Wikipedia gives nice descriptions of them!

Have fun!
Reply:No different plants, i noticed the same thing in Wilkinsons, i think they just use the same label for both as they are the same price.





The lavender will look more silvery and the rosemary more green with a silvery underneath.
Reply:no they're different types of herbs, both smell completly different and are used for different things. i work in a garden centre and we normally put things on the same poster if they are the same price to save time and space.
Reply:Blue, mauve, pink and white – these are the colours of rosemary and lavender flowers, with their evocative scents of Mediterranean hillsides
Reply:they are different plants, the labeling system is for both plants,


e.g. rosemary/lavender---£1-99p its easy to work out!
Reply:They are related,a lavender is a type of rosemary,the flowers are similiar also
Reply:no. The smell, for one, is completely different. I've never sprinkled lavender on my potatoes, and I've never seen Lavender's Baby.
Reply:Nothing like each other! Lavender is a nice smelly flowering herb - Rosemary is darker leafed, and used in cooking!
Reply:no they are not the same two different plants one is a herb, the other a flower/herb
Reply:Wilkos is thick.
Reply:no, two totally different plants and smells
Reply:hehe - they are completely different! Maybe the price was just the same for both?
Reply:I doubt it, they smell very distinct
Reply:mix jelly, butter, salt and cat hairs that should do it
Reply:They must have made a hybrid. either that or the labeller has no interest in plants
