Rosemary Prostratus (trailing variety)
Rosemary ‘Prostratus’ (Salvia rosmarinus ‘Prostratus’)
A trailing, aromatic rosemary with clean pine‑herbal notes, perfect for walls, containers, and sunny Mediterranean‑style gardens
🌿 Rosemary ‘Prostratus’ is a graceful, trailing rosemary cultivar prized for its cascading habit and its clean, pine‑herbal aroma. With long, arching stems and narrow grey‑green leaves, it spills beautifully over walls, raised beds, and large containers, creating a soft, evergreen waterfall of foliage. The flavour is classic rosemary — resinous, bright, and aromatic — making it ideal for roasting, grilling, and Mediterranean cooking. In spring and early summer, it produces masses of pale blue flowers that attract bees in abundance. Hardy in well‑drained soil and happiest in full sun, ‘Prostratus’ is a superb choice for gardeners seeking a rosemary that is both culinary and highly ornamental.
