| Botanical Name | Rosmarinus officinalis 'Tuscan Blue' |
| Description | A tall, vigorous rosemary variety that loves the Southeast Texas sun. In the Houston area, successful growth depends on excellent drainage; this plant will struggle in heavy, unamended clay soils that retain water. Plant in raised beds or incorporate expanded shale and compost to ensure the roots remain healthy during our rainy seasons. |
| Exposure | Full Sun |
| Height x Width | 4-6 ft. x 2-4 ft. |
| Water | Low; drought-tolerant once established. Requires very little water once the root system is set. |
| Zones | 8 - 11 (Reliable perennial in Houston) |
| Fertilization | Minimal; light application of balanced fertilizer in early spring if needed. |
| Pruning | Prune regularly for culinary use or to maintain its upright shape and prevent woodiness. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
