Lippia graveolens, Mexican Oregano


Hello all,
 
This is the first time I have grown Lippia graveolens, Mexican oregano, and I am very impressed with its shape and performance (it has made it through 3 months of 100 degrees or more).  I planted it this spring from a 3 inch pot in full sun on a south facing slope.  It is now about three feet tall and wide and looks like a small shrub.  It has small, white, fragrant flowers along the stems and the branches stream out and slightly upward from the center of the plant like a large symetrical floral arrangement.
 
Has anyone else grown Lippia and what type of cold weather can it handle?  I am thinking about getting several more and putting them in a shrub bed I am starting in my back yard this fall.  Thanks in advance for any cultural information.
