An evergreen, spreading shrub, it has attractive cream-variegated, or silvery-white oval leaves and delightful pale-pink flowers. Fresh leaves can be picked all year round. This cultivar will look excellent planted as edging where a few of its stems may occasionally be crushed under foot to release its wonderful citrus scent. It's an ideal ground cover plant for a sunny border or rock garden or in paving crevices. Useful for attracting bees and other beneficial pollinating insects into the garden, the aromatic leaves release a lovely scent whenever they are trodden on.
