Grown for its highly aromatic foliage and flowers as well as its excellent vigor and sturdy habit. Dark lavender purple flowers appear above the grey-green, evergreen foliage on long stems that are excellent for cutting. Often used in bouquets, potpourri and scented bath products. A very popular selection.
