More reliably winter hardy than most other rosemary verities. Light blue flowers bloom in early summer on spires of fragrant, needle-like foliage. An essential garden herb for any home cook or fragrance lover. Highly attractive to pollinators but deer resistant. Does best in well draining soil and may need some winter protection through the toughest cold spells.
