Rosmarinus officinalis lavandulaceous Trailing Rosemary or Santa Barbara Rosemary

Rosmarinus officinalis lavandulaceous Santa Barbara Trailing Rosemary

Mounded Mature Trailing Rosemary in Full Bloom

		Perhaps Climbing Rosemary would be a better common name for Prostrate Rosemary. Above Trailing Rosemary has been forced by its surroundings to grow up a four foot lamp post (middle right). It is also growing around and over a miniature red rose bush planted near the post. A vigorous grower, Trailing or Creeping Rosemary climbs over itself and easily reaches heights of three feet or more if not pruned. Planted in a second story window box, it would trail all the way to the ground.
	Trailing Rosemary does well in windowsill planter for a while, but to get a really nice specimen consider growing it in a large container like our 15 inch Terra Roma Square Planter but it does need to be repotted with fresh soil and organic fertilizer each spring. Trailing Rosemary is one of the six plants chosen to be in our Windowsill Herb Garden Six Pack.
