Read detailed description :

A lovely erect plant with strong, silver glinting stems, and resistant to drought. Very floriferous in summer. Large, aromatic, grey-green, then silvery grey-white leaves with indented extremities. The slightly perfumed lavender-blue flowers appear in June-July. A light pruning of wilted flowers early August will encourage a denser repeat flowering in September-October. Prefers a sunny exposure but will tolerate half shade.
