Rosmarinus Officinalis 'Irene', commonly known as Irene Rosemary, is a hardy evergreen herbaceous shrub prized for its aromatic foliage, attractive growth habit, and delicate blue flowers. This versatile rosemary variety produces fragrant needle-like green leaves and clusters of small blue blooms that appear through the cooler months and into spring, attracting bees and other beneficial pollinators. Its compact, spreading habit makes it an excellent choice for herb gardens, borders, rockeries, coastal landscapes, and containers.

Highly valued for its drought tolerance, culinary uses, and low-maintenance nature, Irene Rosemary thrives in full sun and well-drained soils. Its fragrant foliage provides year-round interest while adding texture and structure to the landscape. Perfect for gardeners seeking a reliable Mediterranean-style plant, this versatile variety offers beauty, practicality, and resilience in both ornamental and edible gardens.
