These plants are in 8cm pots. There are only a few. We ship plants early in the week, after your payment,  to ensure they arrive as fresh as possible.

This showy plant has very pretty  flower spires, which can be red, magenta or purple. The foliage is slightly furry and is aromatic .  It looks handsome in a container , and can tolerate some drought, but is best watered through the summer. It likes well drained soils and enjoys the sun but is best placed in partial shade in areas which have hot sun in the summer months.  The flowers are excellent for cutting , and attract the beneficial insects such as bees and butterflies. It does equally well in beds and borders, and is almost disease and pest free.
