About this plant
Distinctive amongst rosemary cultivars, 'Arp' stands out for its exceptional cold tolerance, making it a reliable choice for gardeners in cooler climates where other rosemary varieties may struggle. Its fragrant, needle-like leaves release a delightful piney scent, a hallmark of this beloved culinary herb. Beyond its resistance to cold, Rosemary 'Arp' is a robust and attractive shrub, developing an upright, somewhat open habit that lends itself well to both formal and informal garden designs. It produces delicate light blue flowers, especially in spring and summer, which are highly attractive to pollinators. Ideal for herb gardens, mixed borders, or even as a low-growing hedge, 'Arp' provides year-round interest and a constant supply of fresh foliage for seasoning your favorite dishes, from roasted vegetables to grilled meats. Its hardiness and aromatic qualities make it a truly indispensable plant for the discerning gardener.
Care & maintenance
