Moderate-growing evergreen perennial to 3-6” tall x 18-24” wide. This low-growing species forms a dense mat of aromatic rich green foliage that is an ideal selection for use as a groundcover or for filling in between stepping stones or rock work. This fragrant and useful foliage can be used for cooking or potpourris. Adding further appeal is the showy and profuse display of pinkish-purple flowers that appear in summer. Prefers regular watering in sun to light shade exposure.
USDA Zone: 5A-10B
