Elegant spikes up to 1.2m, laden with flowers, are held over deliciously fragrant foliage from October to May. Cultivars are available in a variety of colours from apricots, salmons, pinks and blues. Wonderful long-flowering plant forming an airy haze of flowers, complementing many cottage plantings and ornamental borders. Leaves can be added to summer salads, for a mild lemon-anise flavour. Cut down to the ground in winter to maintain a healthy, compact bush. An excellent plant for attracting birds, bees and beneficial insects to your garden. A popular cultivar is 'Sweet Lili' (pictured).
