Hardiness: USDA Zones 3 to 8

Light: Best in full sun, but can tolerate shade in hot climates.

Soil: Prefers well draining soil and neutral pH.

Uses: Good companion plant for early and late blooming plants. Great for perennial borders, but can be used in herb gardens, rock gardens, as a ground cover, or as a container plant.

Unique Qualities: Will bloom continuously throughout the season if properly pruned. Great for attracting bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects, but is deer and rabbit resistant. Leaves release a wonderful aroma when crushed.
