Cumberland Rosemary

Limited time offer, while supplies last. Conradina verticillata Cumberland Rosemary is a rare, low-growing evergreen shrub in the mint family, native to the Cumberland Plateau of Tennessee and Kentucky. Considered endangered, this special plant was carefully selected from the wild by Steve Breyer of Tripple Brook Nursery (South Hampton, MA) and shared for propagation, ensuring its continued presence in landscapes. This compact variety gradually spreads 6–8 inches per season, reaching about 4 inches in height. Its slender, needle-like leaves are evergreen, fragrant, and reminiscent of culinary rosemary—making them a useful substitute in the kitchen. Branches can also be dried for long-lasting fragrance, and the rosemary-like scent is known to help repel insects. In late spring to early summer (May–June), every stem is crowned with delicate lavender flowers, offering a charming display of soft color. Cumberland Rosemary thrives in partial shade to full sun and is well-suited to sandy or gravelly soils. Remarkably versatile, it is drought-tolerant yet also content in moist conditions.
