    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    These plants are from a cutting from the old 'Sasso's Herb Garden' in California…it seems in many ways slightly different from the species, increased hardiness, exceptionally dense, more compact…perhaps not as floriferous, but still plenty of blue flowers to go around late summer > fall. Frosty evergreen leaves create a dense silver foil on arching branches to 4'h x 6'w– Sun, well drained soil, drought tolt, deer resistant; takes shearing (but shame on you).
