Huntington Carpet Trailing Rosemary

Huntington Carpet Trailing Rosemary forms a broad, aromatic evergreen groundcover with long stems that cascade beautifully over walls and raised beds. Deep blue flowers appear heavily in spring and may return during mild weather, attracting bees and other pollinators. Its drought tolerance makes it useful on sunny slopes and in water-wise plantings. Give it full sun, excellent drainage, and room to spread. Available for local pickup from Towns Edge Nursery.
