Tuscan Blue Rosemary

The Tuscany Blue Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis 'Tuscany Blue') is a fragrant, evergreen shrub prized for its culinary value, ornamental beauty, and adaptability in the garden. This rosemary variety features upright growth, reaching about 3 to 4 feet tall and wide, with aromatic, needle-like leaves that are rich green on top and silvery beneath. In late winter through spring—and sometimes again in fall—it produces deep blue to violet flowers that attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. Its dense, upright habit and vibrant blossoms make it ideal for herb gardens, borders, or as a decorative hedge in Mediterranean-style landscapes.

Tuscany Blue Rosemary thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it especially well-suited to hot, dry climates and drought-tolerant gardens. Hardy in USDA Zones 8 to 11, it can also be grown in containers and brought indoors in colder regions during winter. In addition to its culinary uses—where its flavorful leaves enhance roasted meats, potatoes, and breads—it also serves as a natural pest repellent. This variety responds well to light pruning, which helps maintain shape and encourages bushier growth. Combining practical use with visual appeal, Tuscany Blue Rosemary is a standout in both ornamental and edible landscapes.
