Creeping Rosemary

About this plant

Salvia rosmarinus 'Prostratus', commonly known as Creeping Rosemary, is a versatile and aromatic low-growing evergreen shrub that brings a touch of Mediterranean charm to any landscape. Its prostrate habit makes it an excellent choice for cascading over retaining walls, softening pathways, or providing fragrant groundcover. Beyond its ornamental beauty, Creeping Rosemary is highly valued for its culinary leaves, adding a fresh, piney, and savory flavor to countless dishes. Its delicate blue flowers, appearing in late winter to early spring, attract pollinators, making it a beneficial addition to a biodiverse garden. This robust and drought-tolerant plant thrives in sunny, well-draining conditions, offering year-round interest and an enduring, aromatic presence in your garden. Its fine texture and spreading growth create a sophisticated, natural look.

Care & maintenance

Creeping Rosemary is relatively low-maintenance. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Protect from harsh winter winds in colder climates, though it is generally cold-hardy. Avoid overwatering.
