Notes
'Madeline Hill' rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus 'Madeline Hill') is a perennial for containers, hedges, rock gardens, and xeriscape beds. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to moist, loamy soil. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. The fragrant evergreen foliage stays on the arching stems all year. Blue flowers attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.
Pairs well with Munstead lavender, Prairie dropseed, and Chaste tree.
