Taurentius Rosemary Herb Plant

Our Taurentius Rosemary Herb Plant is an upright-growing rosemary cultivar with exceptional heat and salt-tolerance, somewhat lighter and less gray foliage and which will be covered in blue flowers in late spring or early summer. A highly aromatic cultivar, the strongest tasting and most aromatic rosemary will be harvested before flowering. You can also pinch back the foliage and the flower stems to increase branching and fullness. In frost-free areas of the country, Taurentius Rosemary is often grown as a perennial sub-shrub, available for fresh harvesting whenever the need arises, though it can be dried quite easily for those of you who have to grow it as an annual.

Our Taurentius Rosemary Herb Plants are grown with a commitment to natural methods, ensuring they're healthy and robust. Guaranteed to arrive alive and thriving!
