What child of the 60s can resist the name...?? And, fragrant flowers to boot. Very nice mounding plant, easily divided in spring to increase the effect. I get heavy blooms May-June, then sporadically all summer.

New plant for me this year, but off to a very promising start. Potted up when it arrived a few weeks ago from Park Seed; it had nicely filled out the 4" pot and was blooming when I set it out.
