Notes
'Benenden Blue' rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus 'Benenden Blue') is an herb for borders, containers, hedges, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to moist, loamy soil. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. The arching evergreen stems are fragrant and tolerate drought and salt. Bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds visit it.
Pairs well with Munstead lavender, Thyme, and Oregano.
