✂️ Care
Plant in full sun to partial shade in well-drained, light soil. Water regularly after planting to promote root establishment, then reduce watering once established. Pinch back young stems in spring to encourage a bushier habit. Deadhead spent flowers to prolong blooming until frost, and cut back to the ground in late autumn.
This generous and hardy perennial thrives with minimal maintenance and tolerates drought well. Ideal for beds, butterfly gardens, and sunny borders, it offers spectacular and prolonged blooms. Its aromatic foliage adds a sensory dimension to the garden. A top choice for attracting bees and butterflies.
