Couldn't load pickup availability
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.

Benefits of Transplanting
- Bushier Appearance: Trimming roots and tops encourages new branch growth, making plants fuller and more attractive.
- Stronger Immune System: Promotes fibrous lateral roots, improving nutrient and water uptake, resilience, and disease resistance.
- Improved performance: Denser foliage protects against wind, sun, and noise, while providing safer shelter and more food for wildlife.
Benefits of Undercutting
- Bushier Appearance:
Trimming roots during transplanting stimulates new branch growth, making the plant fuller and more attractive. - Stronger Immune System: Encourages fibrous lateral roots, boosting nutrient and water uptake, resilience, and disease resistance.
- Improved performance: Denser foliage protects against wind, sun, and noise, while offering better shelter and food for wildlife.
Cuttings to Hedges
- Genetic copies: Cuttings come from mature parent plants, ensuring identical, high-quality plants.
- Carefully rooted: Skilled horticulturists incubate cuttings under controlled conditions for strong, successful root growth.
- Nature hardened: Plants are grown outdoors, exposed to the elements, developing resilience and robustness before reaching you.
Lets Examine These Hawthorn
- Side branches: The 2 year transplant is growing into a hedge structure
- Thicker stem: The stem is about 3 times thicker and much more sturdy
- Bigger roots: The root mass is much higher on the 2 year transplant
Same Height Different Shape
