Plant Description: A low-growing, mounded, shrubby perennial. Great multi-use plant used as an herb for its soothing fragrance and as a water-wise landscape plant. Has slender, semi-evergreen gray-green leaves and a pretty Mediterranean look. The fragrant, deep purple to blue blossoms form on tall stems in late spring to early summer.
