Shipping & Returns
Shipping live plants sometimes has its challenges when dealing with inclement weather but we strive to have every single order shipped out on their scheduled shipping date. Most orders will be scheduled to ship within 1-2 weeks of ordering. Because a plant needs TLC we only ship out on Mondays-Wednesdays to ensure the plants aren’t stationed somewhere over the weekend with no water or sunlight.
Tuscan Blue Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis 'Tuscan Blue') is a striking evergreen shrub known for its aromatic foliage and vibrant blue flowers. This variety features upright, bushy growth, reaching heights of 3 to 4 feet and spreading about 2 to 3 feet wide. The narrow, needle-like leaves are a rich green and have a distinctive, fragrant scent that adds a delightful touch to any garden or landscape.
In late spring to early summer, Tuscan Blue Rosemary showcases clusters of small, tubular blue flowers that attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Its robust nature makes it an excellent choice for culinary use, as the fresh leaves can be used to enhance the flavor of various dishes, from roasted meats to vegetables and breads.
This hardy plant thrives in well-drained soil and prefers full sun, making it ideal for Mediterranean gardens, herb gardens, or as a decorative border. Tuscan Blue Rosemary is drought-tolerant once established, making it a low-maintenance option for gardeners looking to add beauty and functionality to their outdoor spaces. Its versatility and resilience make it a favorite among both novice and experienced gardeners alike.
