Plant Biography
Known until recently under the name Rosmarinus officinalis, the common rosemary has been reclassified in 2017 as a species of Salvia.
This beautiful and tough evergreen aromatic herb with pretty china blue flowers has a rich history of culinary and medicinal importance. It tolerates part shade, but thrives in full sun and good drainage .
Salvia rosmarinus is almost too familiar to describe – evergreen woody herb with pointed dark green leaves and china-blue flowers in spring. Long used as a herb for flavouring meat and stews, Sunday Lamb wouldn’t taste the same without it.
Care & Size Guidance
It is drought proof and can be trained or shaped to suit any situation given good sun and drainage. Flowers are mainly produced in spring but intermittently throughout the year. The distinctive aroma from the leaves on a hot sunny summer day can transport your mind to warmer climes in a way few other plants are capable of.
Use it as a ground cover or underplanting other Mediterranean trees (Olive trees, Laurus nobilis, etc.) the prostrate rosemary will create a soft transition for plants in terracotta pots or soften dry walls and rocky gardens.
Virtually disease free and no pruning required, incredibly drought tolerant once established.
Lovely healthy rosemary plant. I had difficulty getting this type of Rosemary so ordered online. Good quality plant well packaged and protected in transit. Also very courteous delivery driver. Very happy with order. Thank you
