A low-growing, neat variety with sweetly scented, lilac-pink flowers blooming profusely to attract bees and other pollinating insects. A lovely aromatic herb for the senses that will perform beautifully in rock garden and gravel-themed settings.
After flowering cut back hard using garden shears to retain a neat compact shape. If this is done promptly after flowering the plant will often flower again towards the autumn. Lift and divide large clumps in early spring.
