Andromeda polifolia 'Blue Ice', commonly known as Bog Rosemary, is a compact, evergreen shrub notable for its slender, silvery-blue leaves. Its name is derived from its natural habitat – peat bogs – and its rosemary-like foliage. 'Blue Ice' is a cultivar that stands out due to its particularly vibrant leaf coloration. In spring, this plant produces delicate bell-shaped pink flowers that contrast beautifully with the foliage.
