Creeping Rosemary, Prostrate Rosemary

Rosmarinus prostratus, commonly called Prostrate Rosemary, is a hardy, low-growing shrub with aromatic green foliage and masses of blue flowers from late winter through spring. Its trailing habit makes it perfect for cascading over walls, covering banks, or spilling from pots. Hardy and drought-tolerant once established, it thrives in sunny, well-drained sites across New Zealand. Combining ornamental appeal with culinary use, Prostrate Rosemary is a versatile, low-maintenance choice for gardens and landscaping.
