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.
