Small shrub from Spain.

Has linear or lance shaped, white hairy leaves. Bears clusters of dark purple, lightly fragranced flowers on a long stem.

Flowers July-September

Loves well drained, fertile soil in full sun. Dislikes winter wet and isn't fully hardy.

Once the flowers are over they appreciate a light trim to keep them neat. Prune about one inch off the height to keep the shape. Don't prune back hard especially into old wood.
