Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A quite gorgeous Rosemary that is very floriferous with zillions of blue flowers opening from pink buds. This has a low mounding habit with upright stems to just 3' or so. Revels in a hot sunny spot and doesn't mind our glacial leftovers and will take dry when established. Good culinary.
