Description

Blue Gem Coast Rosemary is a tall, vigorous variety celebrated for its stunning and abundant blue-violet flowers. It produces a spectacular floral display that can last for many months, often peaking in spring and again in fall. The flowers stand out against its backdrop of narrow, gray-green foliage. Fast-growing and large, it is excellent for creating a tall, flowering screen or hedge that provides both privacy and vibrant color. It shares the legendary toughness of the species.
