Read detailed description :

Lovely compact evergreen plant, perfect for rock gardens. Little shiny dark green leaves, giving off a mint perfume when rubbed. In May-June, white, 3 lobed flowers will appear, purple tinted and speckled with purple, red and yellow at the center. This domed shrub, slightly spreading, is perfect for rock gardens, borders, containers and in front of flowerbeds. Tolerates dry periods but appreciates a fresh soil. Plant in a well filtered soil (acid to neutral) with some compost and put in a sunny area, sheltered from the North.
