I love this plant though unfortunately it reverted to all green leaves. To keep yours from reverting be sure to pinch off any leaves and stems when they start to revert. Wish I'd done that.

A pleasant little plant with beautiful foliage and blooms. I haven't yet ha da problem with spreading-- but I use rocks for a mulch to control my invasive mints.

Fresh and minty scent when rubbed. I just planted it so will give an update at the end of the season. Am concerned about spreading.
