Rosmarinus prostratus, Prostrate Rosemary, or Creeping Rosemary, is a low-spreading, evergreen shrub or groundcover. Its leaves are green, leathery and very aromatic. This Creeping Rosemary has pale-blue flowers from early to mid-summer. Rosmarinus officinalis Prostratus can be used as a beautiful groundcover because of its height which reaches only up to 30cm and 150cm in its spread. Creeping Rosemary will trail over walls or edge of a raised bed to make a curtain like effect.
Culinary herb and many medicinal uses. This herb, especially the flower tops, contains antibacterial and antioxidant rosmarinic acid, plus several essential oils such as cineol, camphene, borneol, bornyl acetate, and α-pinene that are known to have anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, and antiseptic properties. Many sources document rosemay’s effect on improving memory, slightly fewer mention its ability to attract lovers, and repel nightmares! Use woody stems as skewers on BBQ to impart flavour.
