About this plant
Silver foliage and scented purple spikes through the summer, drawing bees to a garden. Planted in blocks along a path or a terrace edge rather than as single plants.
Planting & care
Full sun, gritty free-draining soil, low water. Cut back by a third immediately after flowering to stop it going woody. Replace every 6-8 years.
