Arp Certified Organic Rosemary

Arp Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis ‘Arp’) is the cold-hardiest rosemary variety available — tolerating temperatures down to 10°F, making it the first choice for home growers who love rosemary but live in climates where most varieties don’t survive winter outdoors. The stiff, upright habit, needle-like gray-green foliage, and soft blue spring blooms make it as beautiful in the landscape as it is essential in the kitchen, with the full, clean, piney rosemary fragrance and flavor that defines Mediterranean cooking. USDA-Certified Organic, drought tolerant once established, and performing reliably as a perennial in Zones 6–10. Arrives potted in quality soil and ready to plant.

Cold Hardy to 10°F — Rosemary for Northern Gardens

Standard rosemary varieties typically survive down to around 20–25°F — which limits outdoor growing to the warmest parts of the country. Arp extends that range significantly, tolerating temperatures down to 10°F and performing as a reliable outdoor perennial through Zone 6. For home gardeners in Zone 6 and the warmer parts of Zone 5 who have struggled to overwinter rosemary, Arp is the variety that finally makes year-round outdoor rosemary practical.

USDA-Certified Organic — Ready to Plant

Every Stark Bro’s Arp Rosemary arrives USDA-Certified Organic, potted in quality soil, and ready to plant. Harvest sprigs as needed throughout the growing season — the piney, aromatic flavor is outstanding for roasting meats, seasoning vegetables, infusing oils, and flavoring breads. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage vigorous new growth.

Upright Habit — Beautiful as a Border or Hedge

Arp’s stiff, upright growth habit and attractive gray-green needle foliage give it a strong landscape presence — more structured and architectural than spreading rosemary varieties. At 3–4 feet tall, it works beautifully as a fragrant border plant, can be trimmed into an informal hedge, or grown as an attractive container specimen that moves indoors for winter in climates colder than Zone 6.
