Description

It grows best in full sun to light shade and is very drought tolerant once established, although it may drop its leaves in periods of drought. It will grow faster with more moisture, but still must be planted in well-drained soil. Fragrant flowers and leaves. Blooms intermittently, but especially after rains.
