Rosemary 'Miss Jessups Upright'

Salvia rosmarinus 'Miss Jessup's Upright' is a popular and robust upright rosemary cultivar, highly valued in UK gardens for its culinary uses, attractive form, and aromatic evergreen foliage. It forms a dense, vertical bush of narrow, dark green, needle-like leaves that release a pungent, pine-like fragrance when brushed. In spring and early summer, it produces clusters of small, pale blue flowers, which are attractive to bees. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, tolerating drought and coastal conditions. Excellent for herb gardens, sunny borders, or as a low, informal hedge. A reliable and fragrant Mediterranean essential.
