It typically reaches a charming heigh t of about 24 inches and spreads out to around 4-6 feet wide, making it a wonderful addition to any garden. Its slender, needle-like leaves are a rich green on top and a soft whitish below, adding to its charm. In late winter and throughout the year, it blooms with lovely blue flowers that are not only visually appealing but also prized for their use in seasoning food! Plus, the essential oils from these flowers find their way into perfumes, lotions, and soaps, enhancing our daily lives. Birds and bees also happily visit this plant, making it a lively part of any garden. Prostrate rosemary can be beautifully planted on slopes, banks of all sizes, or even in containers, and it thrives wonderfully in drought-tolerant gardens. It also makes for an exquisite border plant. This resilient plant loves well-drained soils and full sun, and it can handle temperatures dipping as low as 15°F! Many gardeners enjoy shearing and trimming it to maintain its perfect size and create lovely flowing shapes that enhance the garden’s aesthetic.
