Category: Herbs
(Perennial)
Easy to grow, producing attractive grey-green foliage and lavender blue flower spikes. A beautiful plant for any garden and a favourite with bees and butterflies. It is also particularly loved by cats, who may flatten the plants as they have a tendency to roll or lie on them - so beware if you own a cat! The leaves can be added to soups and sauces and tea made from the leaves and flowers have calming properties.
Planting
Plant in beds or containers, in well-drained soil or compost, in full sun or partial shade.
Care
Keep well watered until established, and in dry weather. Beware of cats flattening your plants.
Height & Spread:
20 – 40cm × 20 – 40cm.
Harvesting
Harvest young shoots and leaves by snipping them with scissors. Morning is the best time for harvesting, when essential oils are most potent. Regular harvesting encourages bushier growth. but avoid taking more than a third of the plant at once.
