Rosmarinus officinalis 'Prostratus'
This plant is a low-growing evergreen shrub with dense foliage. It usually reaches a height of 24 inches and spreads to a width of 4-6 feet. Its narrow needle-like leaves are deep green above and whitish below. The plant produces attractive blue flowers in late winter and intermittently throughout the year. These flowers are highly valued for their food seasoning and contain essential oils used in perfumes, lotions, and soaps. They also attract birds and bees.
Prostrate rosemary can be planted on slopes and banks of all sizes, in containers, and in drought-tolerant gardens. It is also great for garden borders. The plant thrives in well-drained soils and full sun and can tolerate temperatures as low as 15°F. This plant is often sheared and trimmed to maintain the appropriate size and create flowing shapes.

Winter Shipping: We will continue to ship throughout winter. If you prefer, we are happy to hold your order until spring; please include that request in your shipping notes.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
