Tuscan Blue

Tuscan Blue is a classic Italian upright rosemary long grown for both cooking and ornamental hedging. It forms a vigorous, columnar shrub that can reach 5 to 6 feet tall, with broad, deep green leaves that are larger and more richly flavored than many cultivars. The plant produces abundant deep violet-blue flowers that attract bees and other pollinators over a long season. Its robust, aromatic foliage strips easily from the woody stems, making it a chef's favorite for skewers, roasts, focaccia, and infused oils. Fast-growing and upright, Tuscan Blue is popular for evergreen screens and formal herb gardens in mild climates. It thrives in Mediterranean conditions and rewards gardeners with strong vertical structure in a permaculture design.
