Upright Rosemary Officinalis – Evergreen Shrub with Aromatic Foliage

Upright Rosemary is a highly versatile evergreen shrub prized for its fragrant foliage, beautiful blue flowers, and upright growth habit. Not only is it a favorite in herb gardens, but it also shines in the landscape as a drought-tolerant, low-maintenance accent or hedge. Its needle-like leaves release a pleasant aroma when brushed, making it both ornamental and functional.

This Mediterranean herb thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, making it a perfect fit for Arizona gardens and hot, dry climates. Upright Rosemary can be used in cooking, landscaping, or even as a pollinator-friendly plant thanks to its seasonal blooms. It maintains a tidy, vertical form that works great in borders, against walls, or in containers.
