Arp Rosemary — Rosmarinus officinalis 'Arp'
Arp Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis 'Arp') is one of the hardiest and most garden-worthy rosemary varieties available — an evergreen culinary shrub that provides bold, aromatic fragrance year-round while also putting on a beautiful show of clear blue flowers in spring. The stiff, upright stems are covered in narrow, needle-like foliage that releases a rich, piney-herbal scent whenever brushed — and the plant is as practical in the kitchen as it is beautiful in the garden. Exceptionally drought-tolerant and salt-tolerant, Arp Rosemary naturalizes beautifully in borders, herb gardens, wildlife gardens, and containers. Rosemary is a traditional culinary staple for savory dishes and can also be used to add an unexpected twist to sweet recipes. Note: The volatile oils that give rosemary its distinct aroma are also said to have various wellness benefits. Thrives in full sun with slightly acidic, well-drained soils. Hardy to Zone 6.
