Accelerate your kitchen garden with the exceptionally fast-growing Rosemary ‘Speedy’ (Salvia rosmarinus). As the name suggests, this cultivar is prized for its vigorous growth habit, reaching a harvestable size much quicker than traditional varieties. It features dense, upright stems clothed in dark-green, needle-like foliage that is highly aromatic and rich in essential oils. In spring, it is adorned with delicate blue flowers that are a magnet for bees. Whether you are looking for a quick-growing low hedge or a steady supply of fresh herbs for the kitchen, 'Speedy' is the high-performance choice for your garden.

Key Features:

  • Fast-Growing Variety: Specifically selected for its vigor, allowing for more frequent harvesting and quicker establishment in the garden.

  • Intense Culinary Aroma: Packed with flavour, these needle-like leaves are a staple for seasoning meats, roasted vegetables, and herb butters.

  • Year-Round Structure: A hardy evergreen shrub that provides a lush, green presence and aromatic fragrance through every season.

  • Pollinator Favourite: The early-season blue blooms provide vital nectar for bees and butterflies in the spring.

  • Drought Tolerant: Once established, it is incredibly resilient, thriving in hot, sunny positions with very little maintenance.

Care & Usage Instructions:
Rosemary ‘Speedy’ performs best in full sun and requires sharply drained soil; it is essential that the roots do not sit in waterlogged ground during the winter months. To maintain a tidy, bushy shape and prevent the plant from becoming leggy, harvest the tips regularly or give the plant a light prune after flowering. It is well-suited to Mediterranean-style gardens, gravel borders, or large patio containers. If growing in pots, ensure you use a gritty compost mix to provide the high-level drainage this Mediterranean herb requires.
