Rosemary 'Tuscan Blue'

Rosemary 'Tuscan Blue' is a robust and highly esteemed variety cultivated primarily for the powerful, resinous flavour found in its unusually broad, needle-like leaves. This intense taste, which combines piney notes with a distinct lemony freshness, is released instantly when the foliage is chopped or crushed. It is traditionally used as a premier kitchen herb for authentic Italian cuisine, particularly for seasoning roast lamb, focaccia bread, and olive oils, where its strong aromatic oils stand up perfectly to high heat.

This plant is typically grown as a tall, upright evergreen shrub that forms a stately column, making it an excellent choice for informal hedging or adding vertical structure to the garden. It is generally hardy but requires a sheltered spot away from freezing winds to protect its foliage. For the best results and a profusion of its signature deep blue flowers, plant it in a location with full sun. It is highly drought-tolerant once established and demands poor, free-draining soil, as it will quickly decline if left in heavy, waterlogged ground.
