Grown for its aromatic evergreen leaves and unusual flowers, rosemary is regarded as an essential culinary and medicinal herb, with an invigorating flavour. It makes a handsome specimen plant in any garden, especially when covered with flowers that attract bees and butterflies. It's also a welcome addition to any herb garden.
Rosmarinus offinalis 'Prostratus' is a useful, low growing rosemary, which is less susceptible to wind damage than taller plants. It is also ideal for growing in pots and containers. Grow in well-drained soil in full sun. To keep plants in shape, trim after flowering.
