Rosmarinus officnialis Tuscan Blue

The Tuscan Blue variety of Rosmarinus officinalis is a compact and woody shrub with fragrant, grey-green leaves that give off an aromatic fragrance when crushed.

This upright plant is taller than most rosemarys and boasts pale blue flowers all year round. Native to the Mediterranean region, it is a versatile plant that is suitable for hedging, rockeries, seaside gardens, cottage gardens, kitchen gardens, and herb gardens.

It can also thrive in coastal areas with frequent wind and spray and is drought tolerant.

To ensure healthy growth, plant in well-drained sandy soil in full sun to part shade. Avoid overly rich or moist soils.

Regular pruning after flowering will help maintain its compact shape, and mulching and watering will promote optimal growth.

At maturity, expect it to reach a height and width of 1.5 meters.
