Rosmarinus
'Blue Cascade'
rosemary
Softly spilling rather than standing to attention, Rosmarinus 'Blue Cascade' brings a wonderfully relaxed shape to sunny spaces. This distinctive trailing rosemary grows to around 40cm high with a spread of about 60cm, sending out elegant, arching stems that tumble beautifully over low walls, raised beds and container edges. Its evergreen, needle-like grey-green leaves are highly aromatic, releasing that familiar rosemary fragrance with a subtle twist of citrus and pine when brushed. From May to June, Rosmarinus 'Blue Cascade' produces large violet-blue flowers, striking against the silvery foliage and much appreciated by early pollinators.
Ideal for patios, gravel gardens and Mediterranean-style planting, Rosmarinus 'Blue Cascade' offers structure with a softer, more fluid outline than upright forms. The weeping habit makes it especially effective in terracotta pots, where the stems can trail naturally and the flowers can be admired at close quarters. A warm, sheltered position in full sun and sharply drained soil will keep this rosemary happy, with occasional flowers often appearing again through summer and into autumn. Tough, fragrant and pleasingly architectural, Rosmarinus 'Blue Cascade' is both ornamental and useful, bringing year-round texture, aromatic foliage and a graceful cascade of colour to the garden.

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Check each plant’s specifications. Hardy perennials can remain outdoors, while half-hardy and tender varieties should be kept frost-free until the risk of frost has passed.
Plant within a month, preferably sooner. Choose a suitable position, remove weeds and loosen the soil thoroughly, adding compost or well-rotted organic matter where needed.
Gently remove the plant from its pot and plant with the root ball level with the soil surface. Firm gently, water well and add a plant label.
Water regularly until established and whenever the soil feels dry during spring and summer. Feed container-grown plants fortnightly during active growth to encourage healthy flowering.
