Mountain Andromeda is often referred to by other names, including Bog rosemary, Marsh rosemary, and Wild rosemary. These synonyms all describe a small evergreen shrub that thrives in boggy and wet environments in cooler climates. The plant produces delicate bell-shaped flowers in shades of pink and white, and is typically found growing in mountainous regions across the northern hemisphere. The name "Wild rosemary" refers to the plant's aromatic leaves, which have a scent similar to that of the herb rosemary. While the name "Mountain Andromeda" is commonly used in North America, other regions may use different synonyms to describe this unique and beautiful plant.
