A resilient, mounding shrubby perennial known for its delicate pink flowers and minty-scented foliage. It is highly resistant to Houston's intense summer heat. While adaptable, it must have well-drained soil; it will not survive in low spots or heavy, saturated clay that holds water during our rainy seasons.
Exposure
Full Sun to Partial Shade
Height x Width
2-3' Height x 2-3' Width
Water
Low once established. Very drought tolerant, but requires sharp drainage.
Zones
7 - 10
Fertilization
Use a light, balanced fertilizer in early spring. Avoid heavy nitrogen.
Pruning
Prune back by one-third in late winter or early spring to encourage new growth and more blooms.
