Plant Details

Plant Description: A cold-hardy, compact evergreen shrub with value both as an herb for its soothing fragrance and as a beautiful water-wise landscape plant. Fragrant, purple-blue blossoms cover tall, slender stems, giving a colorful effect when planted en masse. These can be harvested in their bud stage and dried for indoor use. The flower spikes sit above compact mounds of attractive gray-green foliage. Perfect for edging paths or tucking into rock gardens. Prefers well-drained soil and full sun but can hand some shade.
