Rosmarinus officinalis ‘Albus’ (Rosemary)

Rosmarinus officinalis ‘Albus Blue’ (Rosemary) is a bushy, evergreen shrub bearing aromatic, needle-like, deep green leaves with grayish-white undersides. Profuse clusters of white, tubular flowers appear sporadically from late winter to fall. Easy to maintain and undemanding, this white Rosemary is a great candidate for hedges, herb gardens, and waterwise gardens. The leaves are good for cooking and can be used fresh or dried to flavor dishes.

• Grows up to 3-4 ft tall and wide (90-120 cm).
• Easily grown in poor, well-drained soils in full sun. Drought tolerant once established.
• Great for beds and borders, Mediterranean gardens, cottage gardens, coastal gardens, city gardens, rock gardens, patio containers, or as a formal or informal hedge.
• No serious disease issues. Keep an eye out for brown scale, thrips, cuckoo spit (froghoppers) and rosemary beetle.
• Attractive to bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, however, deer dislike rosemary’s strong scent.
• Propagate by semi-hardwood cuttings.
• Rosemary needs little pruning. Prune lightly removing unsightly shoots as required. If desired, prune plants after bloom to promote dense foliage growth.
• Rosmarinus officinalis is native to the Mediterranean region, from where it has been introduced into all continents.
