Perfect for lining a pathway or fronting a border, this evergreen perennial has woody stems that are clothed in small deep green leaves, which emit a spicy aroma when they are brushed past or gently bruised. From midsummer onwards clusters of small pink flowers form towards the top of the stems, each with a prominent lip. - Garden care: Grow in a sheltered border with full sun or against a warm, sunny wall in well-drained neutral to alkaline soil. To prolong flowering remove the flower spikes as soon as they start to fade. Clip in early spring and avoid excessive wet ground conditions by improving drainage and incorporating organic matter to the backfill at planting, and the surrounding area. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plant in spring.
