Rosmarinus Tuscan Blue is a large evergreen, upright Rosemary with a good flavor making it an excellent culinary herb, or a landscaping shrub. As an herb, Rosemary is used to flavor meat dishes, and condiments. The small blue flowers that appear in mid summer are edible as well, and make a nice garnish for salads. In the landscape Rosemary is used in hot, sunny locations as it is very drought resistant and withstands the heat and humidity well.
Many sources document rosemary’s effect on improving memory, slightly fewer mention its ability to attract lovers, and repel nightmares! A lovely children’s herb for this folklore reason but also due to its lingering scent, and its ability to take quite a battering from constant harvest for teas and ‘potions’.
The woody stems can also be used as skewers on the BBQ to impart flavour. Very drought tolerant. Full sun. Height to 2m.
Flowering: Spring - Summer [September - March]
