Notes
'Joyce DeBaggio' rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus 'Joyce DeBaggio') is a shrub for borders, containers, hedges, 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. It has an arching shape, fragrant evergreen leaves, and blue flowers in spring and summer that bees and butterflies visit. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It also handles drought and salt.
Pairs well with Indian-hawthorn, Mondo grass, and Carolina jessamine.
