    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Intense small blue and aromatic summer flowers line the upper part of branches, attracting butterflies, bees, and people. Bring a bouquet of its spicy fragrance into the house! Partially woody, semi-evergreen and drought-tolerant, this is a dwarf variant, a 10"x10" shrublet. Tidily clumping, long blooming, it's nice among roses or as a sturdy "filler" or matrix in any sun garden. Historically it has been thought to be a purifier. Minimum temperature: -30 °F
