Plant Family: Lamiaceae
Plant Description: Evergreen perennial with sage-like gray-green leaves with woolly undersides. Bears golden-yellow flowers in whorls during the summer months. Maintain the mounding form by cutting back to half its size in the fall. Prefers coastal areas and more temperate climates. May require some shelter in this area.
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.
