Wonderful Smell, Very Prolific

This plant has an amazing smell and is very prolific. The plants that were more spaced out produced larger flower heads. I was able to pick flowers every other day to dry for tea. Makes a great dried flower. Aphids do like this plant so be careful when picking.

Great addition!

Super easy to grow ( in zone 7) and the deer and rabbits have been leaving it alone. However I would watch out if you have pets as it can be toxic to them in large amounts.
