Description
The trailing rosemary cultivar 'Prostratus' grows low and overhanging rather than upright, making it ideal for wall crowns, container edges, and sunny slopes. Its needle‑like leaves are as aromatic as upright rosemary, seasoning roasted vegetables, potatoes, and stews.
Care instructions
Plant trailing rosemary in lean, well‑draining, calcareous soil at the sunniest spot and water sparingly, as it dislikes wet feet. Harvest shoots year‑round as needed. This variety is slightly more frost‑sensitive than upright types—over‑winter it in a container in a bright, cool place or protect planted mats with mulch and a protective cloth.
