Description

This attractive evergreen shrub reaches 2' tall and wide. Foliage is dense, gray green and aromatic. Leaves turn bronze and then purple during winter. Thin, erect, small tubular, purple flowers top the foliage during summer, attracting bees. This plant does well in full sun with neutral to alkaline, well-draining soil. Harvest flower stems when they are in bud stage to retain fragrance for potpourri or other crafts. This plant may be sheared for shape or tip-pruned in early summer to encourage density.
