Hardy, semi-deciduous, medium-sized shrub with aromatic fairly hairy leaves and spikes of pink flowers from Dec. to March. It is a beautiful shrub that can be used as a screen. Prune lightly after blooming to encourage further flowering and to keep neat. Plant in full sun or semi-shade in well-drained soil and water well in summer. It attracts insects and birds to the garden.
