Monrovia Tuscan Blue Rosemary

Since this variety grows to about 4 feet wide, you should space them approximately 3 to 4 feet apart, measuring from the center of one plant to the center of the next, to allow for proper airflow and growth.

Tuscan Blue is hardy to Zone 8. If you live in a region with colder winters, it is best to plant this in a container so you can move it indoors or into a protected area when temperatures drop.

Once established, this rosemary is quite drought-tolerant and prefers dry to average soil conditions. You will only need to water it occasionally during extended dry spells, as it dislikes sitting in soggy, waterlogged soil.

Yes, for the best performance and profuse blue flowers, this plant requires full sun, which means at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily. If planted in too much shade, it will likely become leggy and produce fewer blooms.
