Hi, ceres:
Just looked this up and it is pretty...blooms from (Park says) late spring to
late
summer. The flowers appear to be medium pink/lilac and the leaves look like
the serrated ones of Nepeta. It goes on to say that it's 20"Hx12" wide. "Easy
to grow, even for beginners. Hardy and long-lived in full sun to part
shade...Z.5-7. They add
that it's "a favorite in the cottage gardens of an earlier era!" Wonder why
this isn't still quite popular? The pic shows tons of small flowers
resembling lilacs but scattered all over the top of the plant. Think I can
find a place or two for this one.
