Notes
'Corsican Blue' rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus 'Corsican Blue') is an evergreen plant 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 tend to browse other plants first. The fragrant, arching stems bloom in early to late spring and again in early to late summer. Bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds visit it, and it tolerates drought and salt.
Pairs well with Mondo grass, Indian-hawthorn, and Creme de Cognac dahlia.
