Rosmarinus officinalis 'Prostratus'

Rosmarinus officinalis 'Prostratus' produces small, pale blue to lavender-blue flowers along its trailing stems, appearing from late winter into spring with occasional repeat bloom through the year. Narrow, needle-like leaves are deep green above with a lighter underside, releasing a strong, aromatic fragrance when brushed. The foliage forms dense, cascading layers that follow the contours of the ground or spill over edges, while the flowers are spaced along the stems in loose clusters that attract bees and other early pollinators.

Native to the Mediterranean region, this cultivar reflects the species' long history in warm, coastal landscapes. It is well suited to rock gardens, retaining walls, containers, and slopes, where its trailing habit softens hard edges and creates flowing movement. Its evergreen presence and extended bloom period contribute year-round structure and seasonal interest in garden designs.
