Prostrate Rosemary 140MM

Rosemary officinalis prostrata

I am Prostrate Rosemary. My family originated from the Mediterranean.

Habit Groundcover - Scented foliage
Plant family Lamiaceae
I am a prostrate form of the popular perennial herb with highly fragrant evergreen needle-like leaves which are a key flavouring ingredient in many Mediterranean cuisines. I produce an abundance of blue flowers from late winter through to summer. My blooms attract beneficial insects. Hardy I am a good choice for both hot and cool climates tolerating light frosts and dry conditions. I am associated with improved memory. Sprigs of me are often worn on Anzac and Remembrance days. I make a great ground cover particularly beside pathways where my aroma will be appreciated. My trailing form works looks great cascading over retaining walls, raised garden beds and pots.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
I am a groundcover ideal for cascading over retaining walls, in borders & rockeries

I am a very hardy plant maintaining my lush look in a wide variety of conditions
