Description: Noted for its neat and tidy habit, this compact, fragrant perennial forms a dense mat of small, gray-green, finely toothed, very aromatic leaves. In early summer, the fine foliage is topped with  thin stems clad with upright clusters of tiny, tubular light periwinkle blooms with bright (almost white) overtones and purple calyces. A prolific bloomer, low maintenance, drought tolerant, and deer resistant! Cut back after flowering to encourage a secondary round of blooms.
