This evergreen, scrubby shrub grows in dunes, dry sandy areas and scrub mainly along the coast and on the sandy barrier islands and sandy areas inland near the coast from North Carolina scattered southward through S. Carolina, Georgia and Florida. It is listed as threatened in Georgia and is considered protected there. A great plant for xeriscaping and wildlife benefits!

Florida Rosemary is striking in appearance with its dark green needle-like leaves and upright branches. It grows along the white sand ridges, pine scrubs and old dunes of Florida.

It surprises some because doesn't have the fragrance one associates with the herb, Rosemary.
