Moderate-growing evergreen shrub with a spreading growth habit to 2′ tall x 6-8′ wide. Rosemary has long been revered for its aromatic and useful foliage, as well as its profuse flowering display. This long-blooming, low-growing variety features bright to dark-green foliage, accented with a profusion of pale-blue flowers appearing in spring, fall and winter, attracting butterflies and bees. The pungent foliage of this species is often used as a culinary seasoning. Well-suited as a groundcover or container specimen and is an ideal selection for trailing between rocks or spilling over walls. Thrives in a variety of different climates, from direct coastal conditions to warm interior valleys and requires little water once established. Prefers a full to partial sun exposure and performs best in a fast-draining soil. Deer and rabbit resistant.
