Thanks, Janet, I'll have a look at the rosemary in Salcombe first and
photograph it. I haven't seen it since last summer, so can't remember the
finer details, only its extraordinary growth habit. I'm also going to ask
Olivier Filippi in France if any of his answer that description. (Am also
going to order two or three of R. 'Montagnette' from him, which is a pure
white one) We do know that it's too tender for 'normal' gardens in this
country, so it might not be widely available, other than at places like
Burncoose, as Charlie suggested.


In fact my first thought was to check the Filippi web site. 'Barcelona'
might fit the bill. Tender, too.

That sounds very promising indeed. I can't find a pic of that anywhere
either, of course! I've emailed our friends because they're away at present
and asked them to cudgel their memories as to where they got it and if at
all possible, the name. The one they've got must be at least 5 to 6' long
but of course, in the conditions of Salcombe, it has the perfect location.
According to the Plant Finder, Pepiniere Filippi is the sole supplier of
this plant.
