A hardy, fragrant perennial herb in the mint family known for its aromatic gray-green foliage and lavender-blue flowers. This herb is often used in cooking, tea, and as a natural pest repellent. It is particularly good at deterring aphids, flea beetles and squash bugs! It is also popular for its ability to attract pollinators and felines.
