Rosemary 'Hill Hardy'

Rosmarinus officinalis 'Hill Hardy', Upright Rosemary

While primarily valued for its aromatic foliage and culinary uses, the Hill Hardy Upright Rosemary also produces delicate, lavender-blue flowers in spring, adding a subtle yet enchanting touch to the landscape. With a moderate growth rate, this herb ensures a harmonious balance between prompt establishment and long-term manageability.  Thriving under full sun exposure, the Hill Hardy Upright Rosemary reaches its full potential when provided with ample sunlight throughout the day. This herb is well-suited for landscapes with bright, sunny conditions, making it an ideal choice for Mediterranean-inspired gardens or xeriscape designs. With its drought-tolerant nature, minimal watering is required once established, making it a low-maintenance and water-wise option.

Plant with the top of the root ball slightly higher than the soil around it.  In colder regions, rosemary can be dug up and brought in for the winter. Cover during heavy frosts or snows to prevent freeze burn.
