Elevate your seasonal decor with Blue Spires Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis 'Blue Spires'), an aromatic evergreen shrub boasting silvery-green foliage and striking deep blue flowers from spring through summer. Reaching 4–5 feet tall with a narrow, upright habit, this drought-tolerant shrub doubles as a culinary gem—its sturdy stems serve as natural skewers for grilling, infusing dishes with robust flavor. Ideal for hedges or topiaries, it thrives in poor soils and resists deer, outperforming smaller rosemary varieties. Whether indoors or in gardens, its long bloom season and architectural form deliver year-round interest.
A live Blue Spires Rosemary reduces seasonal waste and offers a gift that grows. Its crisp, herbal fragrance enhances holiday ambiance indoors. Plant it outdoors after frost, and enjoy it as a fragrant screen or edible hedge. This living investment outshines disposable decorations for its longevity and culinary benefits.
Holiday Blue Spires Rosemary Care
Position the plant near a south-facing window for six hours of daily sunlight; supplement with full-spectrum LED lights placed 6–12 inches above if natural light is limited. Water only when the top inch of soil dries completely, and avoid high humidity to prevent mildew. Maintain indoor temperatures between 50–80°F, and rotate the pot weekly to encourage even growth. A pebble tray beneath the container adds subtle moisture without risking root rot.
Once nighttime temperatures stay above 50°F, acclimate the rosemary by gradually increasing outdoor exposure over 7–10 days. Plant in a sunny, well-drained location using sandy soil or a cactus mix for pots. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape, and harvest straight stems for grilling skewers. Whether in garden beds or patio containers, Blue Spires thrives with minimal care, rewarding gardeners with structure, fragrance, and flavor for years to come.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
