General Information: Blue Cascade Rosemary is a vigorous trailing rosemary variety prized for its graceful cascading growth and highly fragrant foliage. It produces attractive blue flowers that provide an excellent nectar source for pollinators. This drought-tolerant herb thrives in well-drained soil and performs exceptionally well in containers, raised beds and as a spiller in mixed planters. In most Canadian climates, it is grown as an annual or overwintered indoors, as it is not reliably hardy through severe winter conditions. Its ornamental beauty and culinary versatility make it a valuable addition to any herb garden.
