Rosemary 'Sissinghurst Blue'

Rosemary 'Sissinghurst Blue' is a celebrated upright variety cultivated widely for the intense, resinous aroma found in its dark green, needle-like leaves. This potent fragrance, which carries strong notes of pine and camphor, is released instantly when the foliage is brushed against or chopped for cooking. It is traditionally used as a robust culinary herb for seasoning roast lamb, potatoes, and savoury breads, while its darker flowers are considered some of the best for attracting bees and early pollinators.

This plant is typically grown as a structural, semi-upright shrub that adds height to herb borders or serves as a decorative focal point in large containers. It is generally hardy but benefits from shelter against cold, drying winds. For the best results and most prolific deep-blue flowering, plant it in a location with full sun. It is highly drought-tolerant once established and requires poor, free-draining soil, as it will quickly suffer if kept in damp or heavy, waterlogged ground.
