A compact shrub with evergreen rosemary like leaves that are grey green, have curved margins and are wooly beneath. In late summer the plant produces crimson buds that open into small, scented white flowerheads in dense terminal cotymbs and are usually a hive of activity with the local bees. Height and spread is usually around 1mtr and requires a sheltered spot in full sun with well drained soil. Usually hardy through most UK winters but during very harsh cold spells it may need protection.

Sent as a young plant in a 9cm pot.
