1.5-2' tall x 1-1.5' wide clumps. Leaves are small, glossy, spicy aromatic, pink flowers in June to July, sometimes sporadically continues in bloom until late summer.Our plants are seedlings, so variable in pink shades.

Attracts honey bees and smaller butterflies. Deer and rabbit resistant.

Full sun, half shade, drought tolerant, (moderately) tolerant of heat and humidity tolerant too - in hotter climates half shade or afternoon shade is better.

Average soils, loam, drained soils, rocky, shallow, sandy soils (we probably wouldn't recommend it for wet clay, but otherwise this is tough and adaptable plant).
