About Tuscan Blue Rosemary (Upright Rosemary)

'Tuscan Blue' Rosemary is a standout selection known for its strong, upright growth, reaching 1.5–2 metres high. Its needle-like leaves are intensely fragrant, making it a prized culinary herb for roasts, breads, and infusions. In late winter through spring, clusters of deep blue flowers attract bees and pollinators, supporting ecological health in your garden.

Unlike sprawling varieties, Upright Rosemary offers a tidy, vertical habit—great for hedging, topiary, or container growing. Its drought tolerance and coastal suitability mean it's perfectly adapted to much of New Zealand's changing climate.

Why Choose Tuscan Blue Rosemary?

• Evergreen colour: Keeps its lush appearance year-round, perfect for structure and screening.
• Edible & ornamental: Harvest fresh sprigs for the kitchen, or admire the decorative appeal.
• Resistant & hardy: Tolerates dry conditions, poor soils, and salt-laden winds—fantastic for coastal and urban gardens.
• Easy care: Requires minimal pruning and is largely pest-resistant.

Planting and Care Tips

Tuscan Blue Rosemary thrives in full sun and well-drained soils. Allow space for air circulation and avoid overwatering—this Mediterranean native dislikes wet feet. Gently trim after flowering to maintain shape. Position near pathways to enjoy its scent, or as a striking edible hedge bordering your veggie patch.

If you're seeking rosemary with spreading or trailing habits to complement your upright Tuscan Blue, browse Rosmarinus prostratus (Creeping Rosemary) or Rosmarinus 'Lockwood de Forest' (Creeping Rosemary).
