Salvia rosmarinus

Creeping Rosemary is one of those low-maintenance, old reliables that will thrive with minimal attention, given the correct environment. Lots of sun, well-draining soil, minimal water once established, and room to spread will yield a low-growing evergreen plant suitable for retaining walls, hillsides, and container living. Hummingbirds and pollinators love it but deer and rabbits usually avoid it. Vivid blue flowers appear in the spring and summer on resiny, needle-like foliage that is a kitchen staple and smells heavenly. It's an excellent choice for xeriscapes and rock gardens, and will handle poor soil as long as it has good drainage. Once established, creeping rosemary is definitely one of those plant it and forget it options.
