Noteworthy Characteristics
‘Arp’ is regarded as the hardiest Rosemary cultivar, supposedly tolerating temperatures to -10 degrees F. Originally found in Arp, Texas, this rosemary has thick, resinous, gray-green leaves, a faint lemony scent and an open growth habit. The shrub is dense, bushy, upright and aromatic. Arp leaves are dark green and leathery, up to 2 inches in length and they sport small, edible blue flowers in whorls, up to 1/2 in long. Rosemary is widely used in cooking, especially Italian cuisine. It is not as harsh a taste as most other varieties and partners well with chicken, lamb, and fish.
Uses
Arp Rosemary is an evergreen shrub that grows to about 3-5' feet tall and 4-5 feet wide in zones 6 to 10. It is perfect for the southern states as it is more tolerable to heat and humidity than other varieties. It can be useful ornamentally in foundation plantings and garden beds. Be sure to plant it near decks, patios, porches and other outdoor living areas where the fragrance and the pretty blue flowers can be enjoyed from closer up. It is also at home in coastal areas, rock gardens, hillsides and, like other rosemary plants, is deer and pest resistant.
Culture & Care Tips
Rosemary is easy to grow and appreciates well-drained soils and plenty of sun. Constantly soggy or wet soils can be problematic. Water as needed until fully established during its first year and then only occasionaly as needed. If desired, lightly shear for shaping after flowering in spring and apply a general timed release fertilizer at that time.
