Fast-growing evergreen perennial to 6-10” tall x 24” wide. This popular landscape favorite forms a soft mound of elegant aromatic feathery green foliage that emerges bright-green turning an attractive gray-green as it matures. A profusion of showy pinkish-mauve flowers appear above the foliage late-spring into fall attracting butterflies and hummingbirds. Well-suited in rock gardens beds and borders or as a mass-planted groundcover. Also makes a great container specimen. Requires a well-drained soil and little water once established though a more robust looking plant is achieved with light regular watering. Thrives in a full sun to partial shade exposure.
