Creating a low, creeping mound of aromatic and edible, lime green foliage, this bushy evergreen is also topped with small spikes of pink flowers in late spring and early summer. It makes a great addition to the herb garden, but it will also look wonderful in patio pots or windowboxes - or even spilling over the edge of a low wall. - Garden care: After flowering cut back hard using garden shears to retain a neat compact shape. Lift and divide large clumps in early spring
