This compact, clump-forming perennial features densely branched, dark green foliage topped with vibrant magenta-purple blossoms and dark bracts. Reaching only 10 to 14 inches tall, it blooms earlier than most varieties, starting in early summer. It thrives in rich, moist, well-drained soil and is highly attractive to pollinators like butterflies and hummingbirds. Its aromatic, mint-scented foliage is naturally deer resistant, making it ideal for sunny borders and containers.
