Perfect For
Ideal for mixed borders, cottage gardens, wildlife gardens and containers. The bright foliage illuminates shady corners and provides contrast in colourful plantings. Plant near seating areas to enjoy the fragrance and visiting wildlife.
Growing Tips
Plant in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. The variegated foliage shows best colour in good light. Deadhead regularly to prolong flowering. Prune back in early spring to maintain compact shape and encourage fresh variegated growth.
