Foxtail Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis 'Foxtail') is a vigorous, upright rosemary selection distinguished by its exceptionally long, dense, brush-like stems packed with deep green, needle-like foliage that creates a uniquely full and textural appearance not found in standard rosemary varieties. The bold, architectural upright form — combined with the characteristic deep blue-violet flowers and intensely aromatic foliage — makes Foxtail an outstanding specimen plant for both ornamental and culinary garden designs.

These Professional Grade 4" plants are grown with heritage practices, developing deep, drought-resistant root systems perfectly adapted to sunny, well-drained garden conditions. Foxtail Rosemary is as versatile as it is beautiful — thriving as a striking specimen in mixed borders and Mediterranean-style gardens, a fragrant low hedge or screen, a large container focal point, or a culinary herb within reach of the kitchen. The aromatic foliage is among the finest culinary rosemary available, with a rich, resinous fragrance and flavor that enhances a broad range of savory dishes from roasted meats and vegetables to breads, infused oils, and cocktails.

  • Bold Architectural Upright Form with Exceptional Foliage Density: The distinctively dense, brush-like stems packed with deep green needle-like foliage create a fuller, more dramatic visual presence than standard rosemary — delivering year-round structural interest as a specimen, hedge, or container focal point.
  • Deep Blue-Violet Flowers Loved by Pollinators: Clusters of classic deep blue-violet rosemary flowers appear along the stems from late winter through spring and often rebloom in fall, attracting native bees, honeybees, and beneficial insects at a critical early-season period when few other plants are in bloom.
  • Intensely Aromatic Premium Culinary Foliage: The richly resinous, deeply fragrant needle-like foliage is premium culinary rosemary — outstanding for roasted meats and vegetables, herb breads, infused oils, vinegars, and cocktails. Fresh or dried, Foxtail delivers exceptional flavor year-round.
  • Outstanding Heat, Drought & Wind Tolerance: A true Mediterranean-climate plant that thrives in full sun, hot temperatures, dry conditions, and coastal wind — performing with minimal care in challenging sites where many ornamentals struggle to establish.
  • Deer Resistant, Long-Lived & Virtually Maintenance-Free: The strongly aromatic foliage naturally deters deer and rabbits; once established, Foxtail Rosemary requires very little intervention — simply occasional shaping after bloom to maintain its attractive form over many years of growth.

These 4" healthy live plants thrive in full sun (6+ hours) with excellent drainage and low to moderate water. Highly drought and heat tolerant once established; avoid clay soils and overwatering. Hardy in USDA zones 7–11. Mature height: 3–5 feet; spread: 3–4 feet. Bloom time: late winter through spring; often reblooms in fall. Prune lightly after flowering to shape and encourage dense new growth. Do not cut back into old wood.

We use expedited shipping policies to protect plant health and minimize plant stress in transit.  All plants are in transit for only 1-3 days. (This does not guarantee 3-day delivery as orders are not always packed and sent out on the day of your order.) We send out deliveries on a weekly schedule to ensure quick transit times, so your order may not be packaged and ship until later in the week. For instance, we may hold shipments to avoid weekend delays that keep plants in transit for longer.

All packaging includes eco-friendly material and our shipping methods are tested regularly to ensure plants arrive healthy upon arrival.

Additionally, any delays or damages in shipping are covered by our Healthy Plant Guarantee.

If you're plants arrived damaged, we will happily replace them for free!
