    Purchased as a Proven Winner plant. Grew vigorously. Did well as a container plant, works great as a fragrant, spicy scented filler when using in containers.
    Silvery, fuzzy green foliage.
    Plant tag: Requires full to part sun for best show and to keep it from getting leggy. Do not apply foliar fertilizer in full sun or you may experience leaf burn.

    This is a mounding groundcover. It produces many small, fuzzy leaves, which have a pleasant scent when rubbed or crushed. This little plant doesn't require much care, and it will form a nice mounded shape with little or no pinching. Once established, it is fairly drought-tolerant. It also works well in containers, offering a different shape and texture to complement spiky or flowering plants.
