ROSMARINUS `BLUE SPIRE`

Strongly upright growing and strongly scented and flavorful, this Rosemary will be a welcomed addition to your herb garden for its vigorous nature and strong, woody stems. In fact, these long, straight stems will be a summer barbecue hit as they make a perfect barbecue skewer that will add rich fragrance and flavor to any kabob you cook. In areas where it’s hardy, ‘Blue Spires’ will form a narrow hedge that is an herb garden delight especially since, like all Rosemary, it shrugs off drought and shoos away deer. Its ornamental value cannot be discounted especially when its deep blue flowers bloom and line the long stems amongst the deep green, needle-like foliage starting in early June.
