Planting Cumberland False Rosemary in the Atlanta Area

Cumberland false rosemary (Conradina verticillata) is a lovely native shrub that naturally grows in sandy soils along stream banks. To succeed with it in the Atlanta area, mimic those conditions.

Choose a site with morning sun and afternoon dappled shade. Amend the planting hole generously with coarse sand to ensure sharp drainage. This plant resents heavy, wet clay. With the right spot and soil preparation, it can thrive as a unique, aromatic addition to the garden.
