Variant CT Green Ginger 3L

Quantity

A uniquely fragrant rosemary with bright green leaves that release a distinctive ginger spice aroma when brushed or crushed, adding an unexpected twist to this classic herb. Upright yet compact in habit, it forms a dense bush of needle like foliage that remains vibrant throughout the year, producing the typical pale blue flowers in spring that attract pollinators. Unlike many rosemary varieties, its standout feature is the warm, gingery fragrance that makes it particularly valuable for both culinary and sensory gardens. Reaching about 75cm tall, it thrives in hot, dry positions and poor soils, making it perfect for herb gardens, coastal planting or low hedging. As hardy as it is aromatic, this versatile plant offers year round interest with leaves that can be harvested for cooking, potpourri or simply to enjoy its unusual scent in the garden.
