Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary)

Queenstown Nursery

Rosmarinus officinalis is a classic aromatic shrub valued for its upright habit, needle-like evergreen foliage and masses of soft blue-mauve flowers. Highly versatile in the garden, it can be used for hedging, borders, rock gardens or as a feature shrub. The fragrant leaves are widely used in cooking, and the long stems can be harvested for decorative use or as natural skewers. Its combination of ornamental appeal and culinary usefulness makes it a favourite in both edible and ornamental landscapes.

Reaching around 1.5-2.5m tall and up to 2m wide depending on the form, rosemary thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers free-draining soils. Hardy and drought-tolerant, it performs reliably across Queenstown and Central Otago, offering year-round fragrance, foliage and seasonal flowers.

Choose Rosmarinus officinalis for a hardy, aromatic exotic shrub that delivers culinary value, soft blue flowers and excellent performance in sunny, well-drained garden settings.
