Rosemary | Rosmarinus Officinalis 'Prostratus' - Height 15-20cm - Shrub - 3lt

Rosmarinus officinalis ‘Prostratus’, commonly known as creeping rosemary, is a highly ornamental and practical evergreen shrub. Unlike the upright forms of rosemary, this variety has a low, spreading, and trailing habit, making it perfect for use as groundcover, cascading over walls, or spilling gracefully from containers. Its arching stems are densely clothed in narrow, aromatic, needle-like leaves, dark green above and silvery beneath, releasing the familiar rosemary fragrance when brushed or crushed.

In spring and often again in late summer, ‘Prostratus’ produces abundant small, two-lipped flowers in shades of soft blue to violet. These blossoms are highly attractive to bees and other pollinators, adding ecological value as well as beauty to the garden. Reaching 30–60 cm in height but spreading much wider, it forms a dense, textural mat of foliage that softens hard edges and provides year-round interest.

Thriving in full sun and well-drained soils, this cultivar is drought-tolerant once established and highly suitable for Mediterranean-style plantings, rock gardens, or seaside locations. Hardy and versatile, Rosmarinus officinalis ‘Prostratus’ combines culinary use, wildlife support, and ornamental charm in a single, low-maintenance plant.
