I am have both striking beauty and am particularly hardy with my masses of upright blooms.
My blooms come in hues of deep purple, blue, pink, or white, creating a mesmerizing display from late spring through summer.
My leaves give off a gentle scent when touched.
I thrive in sunny locations and well-drained soil, though I can tolerate a range of conditions. My drought tolerance makes me a reliable choice for gardeners in dry climates. I am a good choice for poor soils.
I attract butterflies, bees, and nectar feeding birds.
Low growing to about 50cm I am a great way to bring structure and colour to borders, rock gardens, and wildflower meadows. Pair me with other sun-loving plants to create contrast.
Removing my spent blooms will encourage repeat flowering.

I am winter dormant and tolerate frosts and snow.
