Hardy, attractive, fast growing evergreen, aromatic, small shrub, with fine, soft, grey, heavily scented leaves. It flowers from autumn to winter with white, daisy-like flowers that have a purple centre and are followed by attractive, white, woolly seed heads. Plant in a well-drained, sunny position and ensure it is well watered. It is very attractive planted as a small informal hedge along a pathway. Makes a fragrant addition to pot pourrii and is traditionally used in cooking.
