Tuscan Blue Rosemary is a multipurpose plant. Tiny blue blooms grow along the tall stems from May through midsummer, making this beauty a lovely addition to a bed or mass planting. This plant is also right at home in an herb garden. Pick the fragrant leaves for use in savory recipes. The needle-like foliage can be used fresh or dried.
Bright blue flowers line the tall stems spring through midsummer. Harvest the needle-like leaves at any time during the growing season. Space the low maintenance plants at least 2 to 3 feet apart. The upright growth habit allows you to plant closer together than other rosemary plants.
Tuscan Blue Rosemary Care
Plant Tuscan Blue Rosemary in the spring and space plants about two to three feet from the center of one plant to the center of the neighboring plant. Rosemary requires well-draining, slightly acidic soil. Deadheading or pruning is unnecessary, although trim the plant to maintain the shape or remove woody stems. Tuscan Blue Rosemary is generally an easy plant to maintain and requires very little care.
Growing Tuscan Blue Rosemary
Plant the Tuscan Blue Rosemary in a dry location that receives full sun. This plant will grow 3 to 4 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide. The Tuscan Blue Rosemary grows as a perennial in USDA zones 8 through 11. This plant can be grown in a container and brought indoors for the winter when grown in cold climates.
Growing Tuscan Blue Rosemary in Containers
Plant one Tuscan Blue Rosemary in a 6- to 8-inch container. When grown outdoors, the plant requires full sun. If growing this plant indoors, place the container in a window that receives bright light.
Watering Tuscan Blue Rosemary
The Tuscan Blue Rosemary prefers to be on the dry side. Water when the top few inches of the soil feel dry and drench the soil when it is time to water.
Feeding Tuscan Blue Rosemary
Apply fertilizer with increased nitrogen levels in the spring and again during the middle of the summer. Container-grown plants will need a dose of balanced fertilizer every other week.

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
