Description
Tuscan Blue is a perfect Rosemary for the southern states as it’s more tolerable to heat and humidity. Throughout the year, this Mediterranean native has needle-like leaves that are very fragrant from afar. In spring, its small violet blue flowers cover the plants and attract butterflies and other beneficial pollinators. Tuscan Blue rosemary has a lemony tang that goes along with its pine flavor and scent. It is not as harsh a taste as most other varieties and partners well with chicken, lamb, and fish. As with all varieties of rosemary, Tuscan Blue performs very well in both garden beds and pots that can be brought indoors for winter use for gardeners above USDA Zone 7b.
Landscape Uses
Growing 4 to 6 feet tall and wide, Tuscan Blue Rosemary is a great culinary herb for the garden, and has the added appeal of distinctly sea green foliage and violet-blue flowers that make it suitable for use in the ornamental landscape. In the South, it is ideal for use as an accent, grouping or hedge in foundation plantings and landscape borders. Be sure to plant it near decks, patios, porches and other outdoor living areas where the fragrance and the pretty blue flowers can be enjoyed from up close. It is a natural choice for the herb garden and a fine addition to to coastal gardens, rock gardens, cottage gardens and fragrance gardens.
Growing Preferences
Tuscan Blue Rosemary is easy to grow in most any somewhat loose and moist to somewhat dry soil of average fertility and full to mostly sun. Plants will tolerate shade but foliage won’t be as dense. Grows well in full sun to part shade. It will tolerate dry periods, but flowers best with a moist soil. Can be pruned regularly for shaping or use in cooking.
Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7b, where this Rosemary plant variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

I had been growing a ‘Tuscan Blue’ rosemary here in southwest AR in my flowerbed and it had been doing well…until I pruned it too close to the trunk. After that, it went downhill and this last winter finished it off. I was able to find a new plant at Wilson Brothers. It arrived quickly and is a beautiful plant that I expect to enjoy for years to come. It survived lows to 10 degrees F and humid summers of 100+ with no problems. The flavor of this rosemary is excellent. I highly recommend!—————————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come!

I am more than pleased to write a review for the outstanding Tuscan Blue rosemary plant you sent me. I live in a second floor condo so the plant is in a large container. I have a ground level porch and that’s where my plat resides. I was amazed discover when I went out on the porch I could smell the rosemary fragrance in the air. Touching it leaves a great fragrance on my fingers that lasts and lasts. I can’t wait to let it mature a bit and then prune the tips to shape the plant. I’ll dry those tips and use them in the kitchen. The plant arrived in wonderful condition , just a bit damp. The tips were a bit white but that all turned green within two days of potting. I can’t wait for the blooms.
The planting an growing seasons in Southwest Florida are unlike East Tennessee and Illinois where lived for many years. So it will be a surprise to watch this lovely plant grow and mature. I highly recommend Wilson Bros. and hope to have the chance to order again. Thanks so much.—————————————————–We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come!
