Attractive, fluffy, lavender-blue, button-like flowers approx 2cm (¾in) across are produced all summer on bushy plants with unusual, pineapple fragrant foliage. Very heat and drought tolerant, attracting butterflies and adding fragrance to borders or containers.
Height 50-60cm (20-24 inches).
Sow February-April on the surface of a good free draining, damp, seed compost and place at a temperature of 20-22C (69-75F). Lightly cover the seed with vermiculite. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag until after germination which usually takes 14-21 days. Do not exclude light as this helps germination.
