Rosemary 'Foxtail'
Rosemary 'Foxtail' is a popular perennial herb, famously prized for its unique and highly ornamental growth habit, with arching, plume-like branches that resemble a foxtail. The primary part used for its culinary value is its needle-like, aromatic leaves, which provide a classic, robust, and piney rosemary flavour. This makes it an essential herb for roasting meats and vegetables, flavouring oils, and seasoning breads. The plant's attractive, small blue flowers are also edible and make a beautiful garnish.
When it comes to planting and maintenance, this is an easy-to-grow, evergreen shrub, but it has very specific demands. It is not fussy about soil fertility but is extremely fussy about light, requiring a location in full, direct sun to thrive. The main requirement for it to grow well is providing it with soil that is exceptionally well-drained, as it strongly dislikes "wet feet" and is very drought-tolerant once established. As an added benefit to the garden, its attractive blue flowers are known to be a major favourite of bees and other pollinators.
Please Note: When purchasing plants please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only - The plant will be supplied in a growers pot.
