A vigorous evergreen groundcover with dark green, needle like leaves and light blue flowers in late winter to mid spring. While the flowers draw in the bees and other beneficial bugs, you can enjoy the fragrant leaves in your cooking.

Cultural

Rosemary can tolerate partial shade but performs better in full sun. Frost tolerant once established and suitable for coastal conditions. Doesn‘t respond well to humidity and poor air circulation.
Soil:
Tolerates any well drained soil, suitable for poor soils.
Aspect:
Full sun.
Maintenance:
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain size and shape and to remove any dead stems. Rosemary has low-nutrient requirements but, if plants lack vigour apply a slow-release fertiliser in spring.
Water Requirements:
Drought tolerant once established. Will not tolerate wet soil.
Seasonal Interest:
Spring to summer flowering, year round foliage interest.

Landscape Uses

Excellent for mass planting in large garden beds, cascading over retaining walls, as a low border along a path or underplant in your large pots. Prostrate Rosemary is a versatile plant which will enhance your garden design while also being a functional edible.
