Semi-woody, perennial shrub about 4 feet tall. The fragrant leaves are ovate to lanceolate and tend to be more clustered towards the branch tips. The fragrant, pink flower heads are numerous in dense, flat-topped clusters. It blooms all year in Florida and does well in container culture but stays smaller than when planted in the ground.
Its natural habitat is freshwater and saline marshes of the southeastern United States and tropical America
