Product Overview
Rosmarinus officinalis Rosea Rosemary Pink is a delightful evergreen herb with needle-like aromatic foliage and clusters of soft rose-pink flowers in spring and summer. This cultivar brings both culinary appeal and ornamental charm to herb gardens, hedging, containers, and borders.
Growth:
Forms a bushy, upright shrub typically reaching 60 to 90 cm in height and similar in width. Its tidy form suits hedges, garden edging, or feature planting.
Light Requirements:
Thrives in full sun. Bright light enhances flower colour and fragrance, though part shade is tolerated in hotter conditions.
Soil Requirements:
Prefers well-drained soils ranging from sandy to loamy textures. Thrives in average to slightly alkaline soils. Avoid waterlogged conditions.
Water Requirements:
Water consistently during establishment. Once established, allow soil to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid excess moisture to support healthy foliage and blooms.
Frost Tolerance:
Moderately frost tolerant once settled. Performs well in most temperate climates when planted in free-draining sites.
Drought Tolerance:
Highly drought tolerant when mature. Excellent for waterwise and coastal gardens with minimal supplemental watering.
Flowering Information:
Produces clusters of attractive rose-pink blooms across spring and summer. The flowers are highly decorative and attract pollinators.
Spacing Requirements:
Plant approximately 60 to 90 cm apart to allow for airflow and balanced growth.
Fertiliser Requirements:
Low feeding needs. A light spring top-up with compost or balanced slow-release fertiliser supports growth and flowering without excess.
Care and Maintenance:
Low maintenance. Trim lightly after flowering to maintain shape and tidy form. Mulch annually to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Rosemary is well-suited to culinary beds, coastal plantings, and fragrant landscapes.
