Plant Family: Lamiaceae
Plant Description: This tough perennial grows somewhat woody and sprawling, but adorned with golden chartreuse leaves. Tiny lavender-pink flowers bloom in the summer. The leaves are aromatic, but usually not used for culinary purposes. It is adaptable to many different types of soils and sites and shows good heat and drought tolerance.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
