Rosmarinus Prostratus 14cm Pot

Rosmarinus prostratus, also known as Creeping Rosemary, is a low-growing, evergreen herb admired for its aromatic foliage and trailing habit. Unlike its upright relatives, this variety features sprawling branches that make it an excellent choice for ground cover or cascading over containers. Its small, needle-like leaves are green on top and silvery underneath, and it produces delicate pale blue flowers, adding both beauty and fragrance to your garden.

Where to Position Your Rosmarinus prostratus

Creeping Rosemary thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it ideal for sunny garden spots, hanging baskets, or containers. It prefers a slightly alkaline to neutral pH and requires good air circulation. While it is drought-tolerant once established, regular watering is beneficial during prolonged dry periods to keep the plant lush and vibrant.

Growth and Maintenance

Rosmarinus prostratus is valued for its trailing growth and aromatic foliage. It typically grows to a height of about 30 cm with a spread of up to 1.2 meters, making it perfect for ground cover or as a cascading element in containers. Regular light pruning will help maintain its shape and promote denser growth. Prune after flowering to remove any spent blooms and to keep the plant looking tidy.
