Rosmarinus officinalis 'Arp' (Arp Hardy Rosemary)

SunZone: 6-9 40" tall Origin: Mediterranean Europe

Open House/Web-Only! Discovered by Madalene Hill in Arp, Texas, this rosemary was sent to the folks at the US National Arboretum, which was so taken after it survived -10 degrees F that they released it under the name 'Arp'. This grey-green clump-former, to 3'+ tall, has typical fine-textured foliage, a wonderful fragrance, and (thanks to my wife) makes some fine rosemary chicken. R. 'Arp' is the best grower for us in the South through both summer and winter. Beginning in the fall and continuing through the spring, the clump is adorned with dark blue flowers...our 8-year-old specimen is 10' across and survived 0 degrees F...WOW! Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
