Compact low shrub has narrow leaves with cream-yellow margins that present an overall light yellow effect. White flowers in summer are not particularly showy. Slower growing than the typical grey coast rosemary, this shrub forms a low tight mound. Sun, reasonably well drained soil, moderate to little watering when established. Hardy to 20 degrees F or less.
