    Gorgeous, broad, thick, furry silver-green leaves beg to be touched on this Australian mint relative. Mounding to 2-3' in height and width, adorned with tiny white flowers in late summer. Bright light to shade. Prefers moderate to little water, and tolerant of most soils. Great as an annual or in containers in our climate, tolerating a light frost. Hardy to USDA zone 9b, 25F.
