Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Fragrant AND showy (large clusters of red-turning-rose) flowers over a very long (3-4 months!) period, these compact 2-3' shrubs have handsome variegated foliage, as well!; ideal for container or border. S/M PPAF
Magenta pink flowers are gorgeous against the dark green foliage with a fragrance that is awesome and alluring. This form with leaves tinted red with striking pink and white variegation. The leaf aroma, when touched, is found by some to be -- well -- less alluring, a bit peanut-buttery ... but consider that butterflies love the flowers and you will too. To 6' tall, flowering mid to late summer. Sun to part shade in good drainage with some water. Frost hardy to 0 °F, USDA zone 7. Keep an eye out for non-variegated suckers, which do happen. Lamiaceae
