Product description
Rosemary 'Sudbury Blue' is an upright selection cultivated primarily for its intensely blue flowers and aromatic, needle-like foliage. This resinous, pine-like flavour is released powerfully when the leaves are roasted or crushed. It is traditionally used as the premier seasoning for roast lamb and potatoes, while the vibrant flowers are edible and add a splash of colour to salads.
This plant is typically grown as a hardy evergreen shrub with a vertical habit. It is robust and cold-tolerant, provided it is not sitting in water. For the best results and maximum flowering, plant it in a location with full sun. It is highly drought-tolerant once established and thrives in poor, chalky, or sandy soil with excellent drainage.
Please Note: When purchasing plants please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only - The plant will be supplied in a growers pot.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.
