Notes
'Gorizia' rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus 'Gorizia') is a shrub for borders, hedges, containers, and rock 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. Light blue flowers open in spring and again in summer, and bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds visit them. Deer rarely make it their first choice. The evergreen leaves are fragrant all year.
Pairs well with Indian-hawthorn, Mondo grass, and Desert willow.
