At our garden center, we're excited to offer Rosmarinus officinalis 'Prostratus' to plant enthusiasts looking to add a touch of Mediterranean charm to their outdoor spaces.

• Low-Growing Habit: Rosmarinus officinalis 'Prostratus' is a trailing variety of Rosemary, with stems that cascade gracefully along the ground or spill over the edges of containers, making it an excellent choice for ground cover or hanging baskets.

• Aromatic Foliage: 'Prostratus' features narrow, needle-like leaves that release a delightful fragrance when crushed or brushed against, adding a sensory element to your garden.

• Drought Tolerance: Rosemary is known for its drought tolerance once established, making 'Prostratus' an excellent choice for water-wise gardens or areas with dry, sandy soil.

Maintenance Tips:

• Height: Rosmarinus officinalis 'Prostratus' typically grows to a height of 6-12 inches, with its trailing stems extending several feet in length.

• Spread: With a spread of 24-36 inches, 'Prostratus' fills its space with lush foliage, creating a dense and attractive ground cover or container display.

• Watering: Water 'Prostratus' regularly, especially during periods of drought, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent root rot and other moisture-related issues.

• Light: Place 'Prostratus' in a sunny location with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day to promote healthy growth and flavorful foliage.

• Pruning: Prune 'Prostratus' regularly to maintain its compact growth habit and encourage bushiness. Trim back any leggy or woody stems to promote new growth and keep the plant looking tidy.

• Winter Protection: In colder climates, provide winter protection for 'Prostratus' by covering it with a layer of mulch or bringing containers indoors during freezing temperatures.
