Rosemary ‘Arp’
Rosemary has been assigned a new botanical name: Salvia rosmarinus.
‘Arp’ rosemary is an upright cultivar noted for displaying excellent winter hardiness (may survive zone 6 winters with protection – so sometimes hardy here). It can grow 2-4’ tall and as wide with light blue flowers. The aromatic, gray-green foliage is can be used for seasoning Mediterranean dishes. Be sure to grow it in the warmest, sunniest spot in your garden (in front of a south-facing foundation or large rock is perfect). We know of plants that have thrived in Boulder gardens for as many as 9 years. For the first two winters, we recommend a 4”-thick winter mulch of half compost, half coarse builder’s sand over the root zone.
