Rosmarinus officinalis ‘Silverwood’ is an attractive evergreen shrub prized for its aromatic silver-green foliage, upright habit, and delicate pale blue flowers. A distinctive rosemary cultivar, it combines ornamental beauty with culinary versatility, making it an excellent choice for herb gardens, Mediterranean landscapes, coastal plantings, and decorative containers. The fine, needle-like leaves release a rich woody fragrance when brushed or harvested, while the soft silvery foliage provides year-round colour and contrast in the garden.
Highly drought-tolerant once established, ‘Silverwood’ thrives in sunny, well-drained positions and requires very little maintenance. Its nectar-rich flowers bloom from late winter into spring, attracting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. Whether grown as a fragrant hedge, feature shrub, or productive culinary herb, Rosmarinus officinalis ‘Silverwood’ offers lasting beauty, resilience, and practical value.
