Type: Perennial
Exposure: Sun / Part Shade
Water: Regular, Drought Tolerant Once Established

These colorful summer bloomers are at home in herb gardens as well as perennial borders. Fragrant leaves form 1ft (30cm) high by 2ft (60cm) wide upright clumps. Stems covered with whorls of purple buds and orange blossoms with long, graceful white stamens rise to 18in (45cm) above the foliage, and persist all summer. The fragrance of the leaves is that of anise, similar to fennel, which is responsible for its resistance to deer. Other wildlife such as bees and hummingbirds, however, find it irresistible.

There are a huge number of bloom colors available with other varieties, so happy shopping!

Cheers,

John
