PROSTRATE ROSEMARY ~aka~ Creeping Rosemary

botanical : Rosmarinus officinalis 'Prostratus' / syn : R. lavandulaceus, R. eriocalyx


This type of rosemary grows along the ground instead of upright. Makes an evergreen and aromatic groundcover, planted 24" to 36" apart. Great for cascading down a retaining wall or over the edge of a container. Blooms light blue, lavender, or violet from mid-spring to early fall. Attracts pollinators -- bees, butterflies and birds. Very drought tolerant. Deer do not eat rosemary.

Although it's called prostrate rosemary it will become about 18-24" tall even with shearing. As young plants, the branches hug the ground and make a great groundcover. As the plants mature the become very woody and the new growth uses the thick woody stems to climb on.

Extremely hardy, spreads by runners or branches self rooting as they touch the soil. Prolific bloomer if sheared a couple times a year.

Prostrate rosemary is just as good for culinary uses as the upright kind, giving a wonderful flavour to mashed potatoes and steamed carrots, as well as terrific in roasts of beef or lamb.

When they arrive, put them in room temperature water for 3-4 days and then pot them up in well-draining growing media -- adding sand or fine gravel to your potting mix will do wonders. Keep the soil in pots moist but not soaking wet. Plant them out in the spring after your last frost
