In cooler climates, it’s best grown as a container plant, while in milder regions, it makes a stunning shrub with vibrant winter blooms.

All rosemary varieties produce delicate flowers in shades ranging from pink to blue to white. Tuscan Blue Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis ‘Tuscan Blue’) stands out with its deep blue to violet flowers, blooming from winter to spring, with potential for a smaller encore in summer or autumn. Its upright growth pattern can reach up to 5 feet tall and 1 foot wide, but pruning keeps it compact. Plant dimension is around 25~30″ in 2 gallon pot.

Benefits of growing Tuscan Blue Rosemary:

Tuscan Blue Rosemary hardiness is a little better than that of other rosemary varieties. It should be able to survive down to about 15 F. (-9 C.), or USDA zone 8. If you live in a colder climate than that, you may be able to overwinter your Tuscan blue rosemary by heavily mulching it in the fall and planting it in a spot that’s sheltered from the wind but still receives full sun. If you want to be sure your rosemary survives the winter, you should grow it as a container plant and bring it indoors for the cold months.
