Care
Thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Extremely drought tolerant once established. Avoid overwatering and heavy clay soils, as good drainage is essential, especially in winter. Avoid over-fertilization to prevent floppy growth.
Maintenance
Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming. Cut back old foliage in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. Can be divided every 2-3 years in early spring to reinvigorate the plant.
Cleanup
Clean up old foliage in late winter or early spring.
Notes
Part of the Proven Winners Meant to Bee collection. Features highly fragrant, mint/licorice-scented foliage and colorful calyxes that persist long after flowers fade, extending interest into fall.
