A wonderful small sub-shrub for the urban garden. It forms a tight, rounded mound, about 1 to 2 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide. Foliage is silver-grey, long and oval, and aromatic when crushed or bumped. Pale blue to purple flowers form clusters at the ends of branches during the summer months. Attracts bees and butterflies. semi-evergreen. A Utah native.
Grow in full sun, and well-drained, loose soil (gravelly, sandy, or clay loam). Very drought and heat tolerant, so it thrives with a southern or western exposure, even against a wall or fence. Tight, mounding habit lends itself not needing pruning.
