Planted in various locations (shaded, dry, arid), the young plants have all thrived. The one slightly in the shade has reached a height of 70 cm (28in) and a width of 50 cm (20in) in this first year! The others are developing more slowly. Lovely dark green color, graceful stems, and fragrance are all present. I quite enjoy the aromatic herb vibe that the field of flowers provides. Very beautiful as a border with the thyme and roses.
