Rosemary Prostratus (Rosmarinus officinalis 'Prostratus') is a low-growing, trailing variety that combines the classic pine-scented flavor of culinary rosemary with a graceful cascading habit. This versatile herb features narrow, needle-like gray-green foliage that spills elegantly over walls, containers, and slopes, creating a fragrant groundcover studded with lavender-blue flowers in spring. Perfect for small spaces, hanging baskets, and erosion control, Prostratus Rosemary delivers both ornamental beauty and culinary excellence.
