Now you’re probably wondering, More? What the heck does Vag hafta’ say on this topic Again!? I mean she just went into length on planting and training prostrate rosemary on her ugly retaining wall…
Well, it’s Spring time, DIY Warriors! And, guess what? The new growth on your prostrate rosemary, aka, Rosmarinus officinalis ‘Prostratus’, looks like squirrel tails in a high wind or that showdown between your doggie and the neighborhood skunk.
Why is it growing upward? I mean, geez, “prostrate” means trailing downward last I heard…
But, behold, like any good woody plant the new baby branches are softie sweet. Have no fear and hold off on yielding those oh-so-fabulous Felco pruning shears, Warriors! These sweet babies will harden and become woody over the next few months and droop down all proper-like.
Voila, you have a new layer of prostrate rosemary on your gorgeous retaining wall. Easy peasey, lemon squeezey!
Happy DIY-ing, Warriors…
