It looks like wild rosemary but is there such a plant? [8-13: Andrea says Andromeda polifolia or bog-rosemary so we're going with that for now.]

  1. Huh. There is in South Africa. So what does it smell like?

  2. No smell at all. But it turns a nice reddish brown as fall arrives.

  3. if this is growing in a moist acid environment it may be bog rosemary (andromeda polifolia), a native sub shrub that is often found in peat bogs or swamps. It is not related to rosemary though.
