Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Indigenous to southern Europe, this rarely offered perennial bears deep lavender-colored Thyme-like flowers that are small, but so profuse they put on a big show for all to enjoy, especially the bees. Attractive dark green leaves shape a well-mannered bushy mound, offsetting gray foliage plants such as Helianthemum 'Belgravia Rose' and Stachys 'Silky Fleece' to great effect.
