Semi-evergreen, shiny silver variegated foliage forms a radiating clump which may slowly spread indefinitely.

Numerous clusters of small, two-lipped, yellow flowers appear on short stalks in late spring. Yellow, with a "hooded" upper petal and "lipped" lower petal are characteristic of the Mint family.
Plant in moist, well-drained, rich soil in partial shade for optimum performance. Once established, it tolerates some drought. Deer resistant, groundcover, great in hanging baskets, window boxes or as a filler plant. A less invasive cultivar is 'Hermann's Pride'. |
