Rosmarinus prostratus – Creeping Rosemary

Rosmarinus prostratus key features

This prostrate rosemary forms a dense, spreading mat of aromatic foliage and produces masses of blue flowers from winter to spring. It grows up to 30 cm high and 75 cm wide, making it ideal for banks, retaining walls, pots, and coastal landscapes. Drought-tolerant, frost-hardy, and loved for both ornamental and culinary use, it's an easy-care groundcover for sunny spots in New Zealand gardens.

Rosmarinus prostratus care quide

Plant Rosmarinus prostratus in a sunny position with free-draining soil. It thrives in coastal and dry conditions, tolerates frost, and needs little maintenance once established. Water regularly during the first growing season to help roots develop, then reduce watering as the plant becomes drought-hardy. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and promote new growth. Avoid wet or heavy soils, especially in winter, as this can lead to root rot. It grows well in pots, over walls, or as a cascading groundcover.
