A wonderful plant for late summer/fall flowering here in eastern Massacusetts. A bee and butterfly magnet in September when it is in full bloom. Great texture and aromatic foliage. Requires very well drained soil here. I grow it in pure sand with a gravel top dressing. Freely self sowing with these conditions. Acts as a perennial here, not the shrub I am told is found in it's native west Texas locale.
