Product description
The bright blooms and distinctive aroma of the foliage are staples of the Rosmarinus variety and the ‘Whitewater Silver’ is no exception. This evergreen shrub is low-growing and compact, perfect for patio pots or smaller shrub beds and borders. The foliage is comprised of small, needle-like dark green leaves which produce a strong scent when crushed and are sometimes used in cooking as a seasoning herb. In Spring, small violet-blue flowers appear in small panicles throughout the foliage until the Summer.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.
