Rosmarinus officinalis ‘Lockwood de Forest’ – Prostrate Rosemary

Rosmarinus officinalis ‘Lockwood de Forest’, commonly known as Prostrate Rosemary, is a low-growing, spreading evergreen herb prized for its fragrant needle-like foliage, culinary value and attractive lavender-blue flowers. It forms a dense, prostrate habit, reaching approximately 30cm in height while spreading up to 1.2m, making it particularly useful for rockeries, containers, retaining walls and groundcover planting.

The narrow green leaves remain evergreen throughout winter and have the characteristic pungent rosemary fragrance and sharp flavour. They can be harvested for cooking, drying and seasoning, making this an attractive and practical addition to herb gardens.

In spring and early summer, the trailing branches are decorated with dainty powder-blue to lavender flowers. Its combination of edible foliage, evergreen structure and low spreading growth makes ‘Lockwood de Forest’ a versatile choice for both ornamental and culinary gardens.
