Herb
Blue Boy
B tier
Blue Boy is a dwarf rosemary with small needles and blue flowers—scaled for pots, rock gardens, and windowsills. Flavour is true rosemary but leaf size means more stripping work for large recipes. Ideal patio culinary plant. Snip frequently to keep dense. Not a hedge type like Tuscan Blue.
