Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A wonderful upright rosemary, growing up to six feet tall and only two feet wide. The deep-green and deliciously aromatic leaves are larger than other cultivars. Winter-into-spring blooms of bright violet to blue flowers are so beautiful and are also an early nectar source for the bees. This is a great selection for creating a hedge or border. S/M-D/GDr

The standard by which all other Rosemary varieties are measured. A profusion of deep blue flowers are born on and off throughout the year with the heaviest flowering in mid-spring. The highly fragrant olive to medium green foliage is an excellent addition to the culinary garden with it's upright to spreading habit. Rosemary is an excellent choice for containers (we prefer the breathability of terra cotta) or in any well drained, sunny garden. Item# 9441. Use the stripped straight branches as shish-kabob skewers!
