Used in both sweet and savoury dishes, this lovely variety is upright and slender with small, grey leaves infused with a strong orange scent and hint of balsam. Light pink-white flowers smother the tips in summer and are highly attractive to bees and other pollinators. Dried sprigs are also perfect to add to pot-pourri.


  • Garden care:
    After flowering cut back hard using garden shears to retain a neat compact shape. Lift and divide large clumps in early spring.
