Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A low mounder or spiller and hardier than some of the other Rosemarys of similar habit. This distances itself from many in the Prostrate Group by having arresting flowers of deep blue and foliage with a fine pungent scent. Best in a well-drained situation with lots of sun.
