This hardy plant provides beautiful golden foliage and delicate pink flowers, offering both aesthetic appeal and fresh herbs for cooking. While it thrives in most sunny locations, users should be aware that this perennial is deciduous and will die back to below ground level during the autumn months, requiring patience for its regrowth in the spring.

The most important maintenance step occurs in early spring, when you should cut back any old, faded flower-heads and dead stems from the previous year to make room for new, vigorous growth. As the plant is fully hardy, it does not require indoor winter protection, provided the roots are not left sitting in frozen waterlogged soil.
