Prostrate rosemary

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 is also a welcome addition to any herb garden. For the best effect plant it in a position where it is brushed in passing to release its lingering scent. 'Prostratus' is a useful, low growing variety that is less susceptible to wind damage than taller plants. It is also ideal for pots and containers. To keep plants in shape, trim after flowering.
