Rosemary Trailing 15cm Pot (Rosmarinus officinalis ‘Prostratus)

Prostrate Rosemary – A Cascading Beauty for Your Garden

Prostrate Rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus ‘Prostratus’) is a low-growing, evergreen herb known for its cascading growth habit and aromatic foliage. This variety of rosemary spreads along the ground or trails beautifully over the edges of pots, walls, or raised garden beds. It is prized for its delicate, needle-like green leaves and small, pale blue flowers that bloom from spring through summer, attracting bees and butterflies.

Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, Prostrate Rosemary is drought-tolerant once established, making it an excellent choice for xeriscaping or low-water gardens. It typically grows to a height of 20 to 30 cm and can spread up to 150 cm, providing lush ground cover and erosion control for slopes.

In addition to its ornamental value, Prostrate Rosemary is a functional herb. Its fragrant leaves can be harvested year-round for culinary use, adding flavor to meats, vegetables, and breads. The plant is hardy and resistant to pests, requiring minimal maintenance aside from occasional pruning to encourage denser growth.

Whether cascading over stone walls or filling in garden borders, Prostrate Rosemary brings a touch of Mediterranean charm to outdoor spaces while offering practical uses in the kitchen.
