Description:
Rosmarinus officinalis Prostrata is a low-growing and spreading variety of the popular culinary herb Rosemary. Commonly known as Prostrate Rosemary, it is valued for its aromatic foliage, compact habit, and versatility in garden landscapes. It features trailing stems that form a dense mat of woody branches, creating a prostrate or creeping growth habit. The leaves are small, needle-like, and dark green, emitting a delightful fragrance when touched or crushed. In spring, tiny pale blue flowers bloom along the stems. Often used as a ground cover, in rock gardens, or as a trailing plant in containers. Bee and butterfly attracting. Grows to approx. 60cm H x 2m W.
