This is a great plant - a long blooming perennial with long spikes of silvery-blue flowers that accent silver-gray spicy foliage. This workhorse will flower for almost two months from the summer into the fall, and grows into a semi-woody shrub that thrives in full sun.

Don't cut this perennial back further than 12" after frost in the fall, and leave some stem buds for next year's growth. A great plant that is both drought tolerant and deer resistant, and a great choice for hot, dry climates. This perennial for sun does not like 'wet feet'! In order to get a full, bushy plant start pinching back about 1/2" when the plants reach a foot tall.
