It looks very dry & untidy if you don’t stay on top of it and pinch it back, but it takes a few weeks before it blooms again. It came back reliably for a long time until my husband hired landscapers to do a fall clean up & they ripped everything out if my flower beds so they didn’t get to reseed & they put 6” of mulch on top. Was never invasive or sloppily floppy like some nepetas.

Label states:

"Perennial. Rose flowers bloom midsummer. Mint-scented, green and white foliage. Grows 15-18" tall.
...Read MoreGood in borders, woodland, and as a ground cover.
Makes a sweet, aromatic tea.
Prefers a light, loamy, well-drained soil. Full sun to partial shade. Drought resistant."

Just picked it up on clearance, so will see what it does next year.

I have grown this plant in my garden for many years. Perfers part shade. Will spread slowly. Is not an aggressive spreader like the re...Read Morest of the mint family. Will also reseed itself.

Rose flowers in July, and I've not had any problems with it spreading unwantedly.
