✂️ Care
Plant in full sun in well-drained, light, even poor soil. Water moderately at planting, then very sparingly once established. This variety thrives in dry and arid conditions. Pinch young stems in spring to encourage a more compact habit. Remove spent flowers to prolong blooming and prune back hard in late autumn.
This generous and ultra-hardy perennial thrives with minimal maintenance and tolerates drought and heat exceptionally well. Ideal for xeriscape beds, butterfly gardens, and sunny borders, it offers spectacular, long-lasting warm-toned blooms. Its aromatic foliage adds a sensory dimension to the garden. A top-choice nectar-rich plant to attract bees and butterflies in arid areas.
