It is a great pollinator attractor.
Crushed leaves give off "a wonderful scent of oregano with hints of mint and thyme." (Plant ID app)

Yes. I got it at the in-person Chicagoland swap last year. It was already big when I received it. I planted it in a pot & it got powdery mildew & I forgot all about it until it was ID'd on this thread
