Rosmarinus officinalis 'Tuscan Blue'
Rosemary

Description:
Robust, upright, evergreen shrub with aromatic, needle-like green foliage and striking deep blue flowers that appear from spring through summer, often continuing into autumn in mild conditions. The foliage releases a strong rosemary scent when touched or crushed, making it a favourite for both ornamental and culinary gardens. It has a more vertical habit compared to other rosemary varieties, making it excellent for hedging, screens, or feature planting.

·          Water well until established, then minimal watering – rosemary prefers drier soils.
