Creeping Rosemary
Rosmarinus officinalis
Creeping Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) is a low, spreading evergreen groundcover with fragrant needle-like leaves and masses of pale blue flowers that hug the soil, making an aromatic, edible groundcover and informal edging that typically spreads 2-6 feet wide and stays 6-12 inches tall. It prefers full sun and very well-drained soil, is drought tolerant once established, attracts bees and other pollinators, and performs well in Willamette Valley gardens though it may need light winter protection in colder microclimates.
Prostratus Creeping Rosemary
Rosmarinus officinalis 'Prostratus'
Creeping Rosemary is a trailing variety of rosemary that features aromatic, needle-like leaves and stunning light blue flowers in winter. Perfect for containers or as ground cover, this hardy plant thrives in sunny locations and adds a delightful Mediterranean touch to gardens in the Portland Metro area. Additionally, its low-water needs make it an excellent choice for drought-tolerant landscapes.
