Upright Rosemary is a hardy, evergreen herb known for its tall, vertical growth habit and intensely aromatic foliage. Unlike trailing varieties, upright rosemary grows in a bushy, erect form, often reaching 3 to 5 feet in height, making it an excellent choice for hedges, herb gardens, or as a focal point in landscape designs. Its narrow, needle-like leaves are deep green with a silvery underside, and it produces small, pale blue flowers that attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. Beyond its visual appeal, upright rosemary is also highly valued for culinary use, adding bold, earthy flavor to a variety of dishes.
This plant thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it well-suited to Mediterranean-style gardens or drought-tolerant landscapes. It’s heat-tolerant, deer-resistant, and relatively low-maintenance, requiring only occasional watering once established. Upright rosemary also does well in containers, which makes it a great option for patios or small spaces. In addition to its culinary and ornamental uses, it can be harvested for homemade oils, sachets, and natural cleaning products, offering beauty, fragrance, and function all in one plant.
