Description
Blue Lagoon Rosemary is the prostrate form that earns its place in the garden twice over. From spring through summer, masses of deep blue flowers cascade across the narrow, dark green aromatic foliage in a display that is as beautiful as it is fragrant. Then, when the flowers fade, the foliage remains ready to be snipped fresh for the kitchen or dried for culinary and medicinal use.
Semi-prostrate and fast-growing, Blue Lagoon is perfectly suited to spilling over retaining walls, tumbling across rockeries, and filling containers with lush, aromatic growth. Its high drought and wind tolerance make it a natural fit for coastal gardens, low-water landscapes, and exposed sunny positions where many other plants struggle.
Key Features:
Growing & Care Guide
- Soil: Prefers well-drained loamy or sandy soil. Avoid heavy clay or waterlogged conditions which can cause root rot.
- Light: Thrives in full sun to semi shade. Best flowering and aromatic oil production in a sunny, open position.
- Watering: Keep moist during dry periods until established. Highly drought tolerant once settled in. Avoid overwatering as rosemary is susceptible to root rot in poorly drained soils.
- Fertiliser: Apply an annual slow-release fertiliser in spring to support healthy growth and a generous flowering display.
- Maintenance: Mulch well around the base to retain moisture. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a compact, dense shape and encourage vigorous new growth.
- Flowering: Flowers from spring through summer. Masses of deep blue blooms cover the aromatic dark green foliage in a prolonged and ornamental seasonal display.
