How to care for it
A Mediterranean evergreen that hates wet feet — full sun, sharp drainage, almost no watering once established. In zones below 7 grow in a pot and overwinter indoors. Shear after flowering to keep it bushy.
Good companions
Sage, thyme, lavender, cabbage family
Harvest
Snip 4-in tips any season, never into old wood.
