General Information:
A low soft grey mat smothered with blossoms in summer. Spent flowers should be sheared off to promote bloom. Likes sun and dry conditions. Cut back to the ground at the end of winter. Cats enjoy it as much as catnip. Deer resistant, good for hot dry spots
Plant Care:
Prefers dryish, not especially fertile soil. May benefit from gravel mulch. Cut back by 2/3 in July to promote reblooming in August to end of summer. Leave foliage on in winter and clean up in spring to help protect roots. Can be divided every 3 - 4 years in spring. Plant self sows readily.
