Rosmarinus officinalis Prostrata is a low growing, hardy, woody stemmed, evergreen, shrub with olive green, needle-like foliage that releases fragrant oils when crushed.
These oils are used for perfumes, herbal remedies and aromatherapy, as well as uncrushed leaves in cooking (great sprinkled on a lamb roast ).
Rosemary also has pale, lavender-coloured flowers through autumn, winter and spring.
Apart from its obvious culinary attributes it is also grown for its ornamental nature with this prostrate form producing many horizontal branches from which many short upright branchlets are produced, creating a lovely irregular outline.
A good groundcover for rockeries, spillovers and banks.
