ROSMARINUS 'TUSCAN BLUE'

SKU: ROOTB

Price: $3.49

This upright evergreen rosemary is a particularly nice form with bright blue flowers. The bright blue flowers start blooming in January or February and continue until sometime in April when the new growth flush starts.

The leaves are a brighter cleaner green than the usual prostrate form, and stay that way even in searing heat. As the branches grow upward, they tend to lean and then grow upward again, with side branches doing the same thing. It give an impression of graceful swaying, and each plant develops a character all its own. This cultivar is also a good one for creating rosemary topiary standards, since it is a strong upright grower.
If grown with frequent overhead watering, sometimes whole branches will suddenly die. The plants are incredibly drought tolerant, and frequent water is simply not necessary.
