False rosemary is characterized by its evergreen, woody shrub structure, typically maintaining a stature of a few feet in height. The narrow, needle-like leaves exude a minty fragrance when disturbed, a cue for its family lineage. From early spring to late autumn, false rosemary boasts a profusion of small 2-lipped flowers. These flowers, ranging in hues of blue, lavender, or white, are not only fragrant but also act as beacons for pollinators. The plant's overall bushy appearance, coupled with its fragrant foliage and flowers, make it a recognizable species among other evergreen shrubs.
