Foxtail Rosemary, Rosemary 'Foxtail', Salvia rosmarinus 'Foxtail'
Noted for its unique habit, Rosmarinus officinalis ‘Foxtail’ (Rosemary) is a bushy, evergreen shrub forming a dome of aromatic, dark green, needle-like leaves with silver undersides. The long branches then arch over and turn upward at their tips, becoming semi-prostrate. Clusters of small light blue flowers with darker markings appear from spring through early fall. Easy to maintain and undemanding, Foxtail Rosemary is a great candidate for containers and waterwise gardens. The leaves are good for cooking and can be used fresh or dried to flavor dishes.
