Product description

Creeping Rosemary is a versatile culinary herb cultivated primarily for the intense, resinous flavour found in its dense, needle-like foliage. This powerful taste, which carries distinct notes of pine, camphor, and woodsmoke, is released instantly when the leaves are crushed or chopped. It is traditionally used to season rustic dishes, particularly roast lamb, crispy potatoes, and savoury breads like focaccia, where its oils infuse deeply during cooking.

This plant is typically grown as a sprawling, evergreen ground cover or as a cascading "spiller" plant that tumbles beautifully over retaining walls, rockeries, and the edges of hanging baskets. It is generally hardy, though it requires excellent drainage to survive wet winters. For the best results and a profusion of pale blue flowers, plant it in a location with full sun. It is highly drought-tolerant once established and demands sharp, free-draining soil, as it will rot quickly if kept in damp conditions.
