| Posted by BookerC1 (Mackinaw, IL - Zone 5a) on Jan 10, 2012 9:07 PM Attractive mounding habit. Gray-green foliage, mix of lavender, purple, and pink blooms. Very sweet scent. Easy to grow, and can be started in flats indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost for earlier bloom. Transplants well. Has self-seeded a little in my garden, but not reliably. [ Reply to this comment | |
