Notes
'Arp' rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus 'Arp') is an herb for containers, hedges, borders, and xeriscape gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to moist, loamy soil. The evergreen leaves are fragrant, and the dark blue flowers draw bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. It grows 36 to 72 inches tall with an arching habit. Deer tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with Munstead lavender, Creeping thyme, and Magnus coneflower.
