Prostrate Rosemary Capri

A decorative rosemary which can also be used in the kitchen, Rosmarinus officinalis (Prostratus Group) Capri is an evergreen shrub with a very low, trailing, spreading habit. The needle-like leaves are bright green and deliciously aromatic. In spring and often again in autumn, pretty pale blue flowers are borne along the branches. Prostrate rosemary Capri is best grown in poor, free-draining soil, preferably on a slope, as it must have very sharp drainage. A pretty, decorative herb, very easy to grow, but only for mild areas.
