Description

Coast Rosemary is the classic and highly adaptable species form, a workhorse shrub for challenging landscapes. It forms a large, dense, rounded mound of fine, gray-green foliage and is studded with small, white flowers throughout much of the year. Its resilience is unmatched; it thrives in full coastal blast, poor sandy soil, intense heat, and with minimal water. This plant is the go-to choice for low-maintenance, wind-resistant hedges, erosion control on banks, or as a foundational shrub in water-wise gardens.

  • Extremely Tough & Adaptable: The benchmark for resilience in coastal and drought-prone gardens.

  • Dense, Rounded Growth Habit: Naturally forms a substantial, weed-suppressing mound.

  • Nearly Year-Round White Flowers: Produces a reliable sprinkling of small white blossoms.

  • Perfect for Windbreaks & Hedges: Its dense growth makes it excellent for creating sheltered microclimates and privacy.

  • Ultra Low Maintenance: Once established, it requires almost no care beyond occasional pruning to shape.
