COMMON NAME: PROSTRATE ROSEMARY

Rosemary ‘Prostrata’ is a low-growing variety of the classic rosemary herb prized for its fragrant green leaves. Unlike upright rosemary types, ‘Prostrate’ spreads horizontally, typically growing 10 to 15cm tall while sending out stems that can reach 90 to 180 cm or more in length. 

This versatile plant is widely valued as a groundcover, where its dense, spreading growth helps suppress weeds and prevent soil erosion in sunny garden areas. Its cascading stems make it ideal for trailing over walls, rock gardens, and container edges, adding both texture and aromatic appeal to the landscape. Beyond its ornamental use, the aromatic leaves are commonly harvested for culinary purposes, making it a practical addition to herb gardens. In spring and summer, its small blue flowers attract pollinators, further enhancing garden biodiversity.
