'Severn Sea' rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus 'Severn Sea') is an herb 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. The evergreen leaves are fragrant, and the plant tolerates drought and salt. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal.
