Rosmarinus officinalis 'Barbeque', commonly known as Barbeque Rosemary, is a robust, evergreen shrub with a tall, upright habit perfect for culinary and ornamental use. It flourishes in USDA hardiness zones 8 through 10, thriving in temperatures ranging from mild winters to hot, dry summers. This variety of rosemary showcases striking, blue flower spikes that add visual interest to any garden setting. Its leaves, highly aromatic, are perfect for flavoring grilled meats. While not resistant to deer, its dense foliage and height, reaching up to 4 feet, make it a popular addition to herb gardens and landscape designs needing vertical accents. Its hardiness and resilience make it an excellent choice for rock gardens, hedges, or container growth.
