Plant this in the "bug-away section", with tansy and the like, for bugs dont like it at all. Planted near vegies or flowers, it can discourage pollination. If I wipe my dogs down with a leaf, the fleas stay away. Boiled leaves make intensely toxic bug spray to be used with extreme caution. Hardy little plant as long as it is given room and lots of sun.
