| Bog
rosemary, as the name implies, grows mostly in bogs in the northern part
of Wisconsin, although a few locations have been reported in southeastern
Wisconsin. The plants are often less than 2 feet tall, the leaves are
alternate, long and narrow with entire, inrolled margins. The underside
of the leaf is bright white in color and the upper surface is often a
conspicuous blue-green color which stands in stark contrast to the other
vegetation around it.
