Olivier Fillipi has some great rosemaries (I've given him a couple). The place I go to find unusual forms are the herb plant suppliers. They often have some very interesting types that are seldom seen in local nurseries and garden centers.
Our favorite rosemary, 'Joyce DeBaggio' was discovered
Thomas Davis DeBaggio (1942-2011) of DeBaggio Herbs in Virginia, which he named for his wife. It is a variegated form whose new grown is chartreuse fading to a mid-green (not as dark as regular rosemary), with deep blue flowers that stand out against the pale foliage! It has a hint of ginger in its fragrance/taste.

I once had a rosemary that was gold variegated in leaf with pale blue flowers. Not very tall, kind of sprawling. I liked the foliage color with contrasted nicely with another low rosemary also with pale flowers.Today I have a very upright forms with unusual blue streaked flowers over a white base, and the dark green foliage has gray undersides that make the plant sort of shimmery.I have no idea if any of these plants have cultivar names.On Fri, Jan 31, 2020 at 11:18 AM Tanya K <t*@gmail.com> wrote:The wikipedia page lists several named cultivars with pink flowers and white flowers. Once you know the name of the cultivar, you can order the cultivar by name. (In the U.S., at least, small independent nurseries can order plants for you, so you can pick them up locally, rather than resorting to mail order,)On Fri, Jan 31, 2020 at 11:07 AM Jeanne Bardems <j*@gmail.com> wrote:Someone posted the attached photo on the Internet (I believe from Spain) showing two different wild collected color forms of rosemary. Do any of you know where one can find a variety of different colors of this common plant? Most of my local nurseries just have forms without cultivar or flower color designation.Jeannie B
