✂️ Care
Plant in full sun in well-drained, light soil, even poor. Water moderately at planting, then very little once established. This variety thrives in dry and arid conditions. Pinch young stems in spring to encourage a more compact and bushy habit. Remove spent flowers to prolong the generous bloom and prune back to the ground in late autumn.
Ideal for xeriscape beds, butterfly gardens, and sunny borders, it offers a spectacular and prolonged coral pink bloom. Its aromatic foliage adds a sensory dimension to the garden. A top-choice melliferous plant for attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds to arid and sunny areas.
