Rosmarinus officinalis 'Tuscan Blue' | Tuscan Blue Rosemary

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Rosmarinus officinalis 'Tuscan Blue' produces clear blue flowers along its upright stems, appearing in late winter to spring with occasional bloom at other times of year. Narrow, needle-like leaves are deep green with a paler underside, releasing a strong, aromatic scent when brushed. The foliage forms a dense, upright framework with a refined texture, while the flowers are spaced along the stems in small clusters that attract bees and other pollinators.

Originating from the Mediterranean region, this cultivar reflects traditional selection for flavor, fragrance, and garden performance. It is well suited to borders, hedging, and containers, where its evergreen presence and extended bloom contribute structure and seasonal interest.
