Horticultural Description
Rosmarinus officinalis prostratus or Trailing Rosemary is distinctive in the way it trails out of its pot, making it a good choice for a hanging basket and, if grown outside, grouncover. Blooms light purple flowers and has a pine like aroma. It tolerates the heat and cold very well and is hardy to zone 8.
“In our Lake Erie greenhouses, this cultivar produces its most vibrant foliage when given consistent morning light and steady warmth. When your order arrives, allow it to settle for 24 hours in indirect light before potting up into fresh, airy potting mix.”
