Rosmarinus officinalis Irene PP9,124 ['Renzels'] (Trailing Blue Rosemary) - A prostrate evergreen shrub to 2 feet tall by 6-8 feet wide with bright green foliage and blue violet flowers in late winter through early spring with sporadic bloom year-round. This prostrate rosemary has been touted as a breakthrough in rosemary's because of its brilliant blue-violet floral color and greener foliage. Cascades beautifully over walls with a hummocky growth habit. Plant in full sun. As with other Rosemary it is resistant to deer and rabbit predation, tolerant to salt spray, alkaline soils and drought. Hardy to 15°F. This plant was discovered by Phil Johnson and is a patented variety under the cultivar name 'Renzels'.
The description above is based on our research and observations of this plant growing in our nursery, in our own garden and in other gardens in the Santa Barbara area. We would appreciate hearing from anyone who has additional information about this plant, even if they disagree with what we have written.
