Notes
'Tuscan Blue' rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus 'Tuscan Blue') is a shrub for borders, containers, food gardens, and hedges. 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. Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds visit the blue blooms, and the evergreen leaves are fragrant. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. Give it room, since it can reach 72 inches tall.
Pairs well with Munstead lavender, California poppy, and Mondo grass.
