  • Growth Habits: Bushy plants reach 8-12 inches in height and spread, perfect for edging paths, containers, or interplanting with veggies to ward off soil nematodes and insects like aphids.
  • Sun and Soil Needs: Loves full sun exposure (at least 6 hours) and well-drained, moderately fertile soil. Tolerant of heat and light drought, making it low-maintenance.
  • Bloom Time: Prolific flowering from early summer through autumn, providing continuous color even in challenging weather.
  • Additional Benefits: Draws in beneficial pollinators such as bees and butterflies, while its aromatic foliage naturally repels garden pests, supporting organic gardening.
Planting and Care Tips
  1. Sowing Seeds: Begin indoors 4-6 weeks prior to the last frost or sow directly outdoors once soil warms.
  2. Spacing: Position plants 6-8 inches apart to promote healthy airflow and dense coverage.
  3. Maintenance: Pinch back tips for bushier growth and remove faded flowers to boost blooming. Apply a light, balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks.
  4. Hardiness: Grown as an annual in USDA Zones 2-11; may perennialize in milder, frost-free areas.
