I am a vivid flowering form of the native coastal rosemary with bluish-purple flowers.
As a hardy evergreen shrub I flower throughout most of the year, more profusely in spring, upon attractive grey-green foliage.
I thrive in most soils from clay to sand, acid and alkaline but dislike wet feet.
I attract native wildlife including birds and insects.
I can be clipped to a formal shape but am naturally dense and will develop a rounded form when left unclipped.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
I am ideal in low hedges, borders, mass planted and a good choice for pots and other containers
My vivid flowers are profuse in spring and appear year round
I am ideal for native and coastal gardens attracting bees, butterflies and beneficial insects
