Hi Helene,
Lots of rosemaries in my garden, one of the best features of the
mediterranean garden in winter. Here rosemaries are covered with flowers in
early Autumn, and again in full bloom right in the middle of the sad cold
windy winter, in February and March.
My favourite are the ground cover types like the cultivars 'Boule' with its
very neat mound like shape, 'Punta di Canelle', with dark blue flowers,
'Montagnette', with white flowers. I also like the white upright form (R. o.
var. albiflorus) and the different pink cultivars ('Majorcan Pink', 'Vicomte
de Noailles', 'Rosemarey'). My best upright blue are 'Tuscan Blue' and
'Minerve', with nice large flowers.
And I'm quite proud of the two cuttings (still grown in pots with lovely
care) we brougt back from the Beni Snassen mountains in Morocco, of
Rosmarinus eriocalyx, a different species with greyish leaves and small
flowers.
Olivier
