Bog Rosemary

Overview

Bog Rosemary is a small, evergreen, bushy shrub native to northern and western North America. It typically grows up to 2-3 feet tall, with a spread of up to 3 feet. Its branches are slim and angular, and its needle-like leaves are dark green in color. Its small, pinkish-white, bell-shaped flowers are borne in clusters along thin stalks near the ends of the branches. The flowers are followed by small, waxy, white berries that give rise to its alternate common name, 'bog-leaved cranberrybush'. Bog Rosemary can tolerate high levels of humidity and prefers acidic, peaty soils. It is a low-maintenance species that requires minimal pruning and does not require regular fertilization.
