Description: Small deciduous shrub or subshrub prized for aromatic, gray-green foliage and late-summer blooms in shades of blue and violet. Thrives in well-drained soils and sunny spots, so ideal for xeriscapes, pollinator gardens, and borders. Ideally with protection from late afternoon sun. Attracts bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects when many other plants have finished blooming. Pefers lean soil and should be pruned back in early spring to encourage dense growth. Not usually browsed by deer. Avoid heavy clay or soggy areas.
