Why We Love It:
‘Biokovo’ is one of those dependable garden plants that quietly does everything well. Its softly fragrant foliage forms graceful spreading mounds, while the delicate blush-white flowers bring a refined, natural look to the garden in late spring. As the season cools, the foliage develops rich bronze-red tones that extend its interest well beyond bloom time. Tough, adaptable, and easy to grow, it thrives in both sunny and lightly shaded spaces while remaining tidy and well behaved.

Additional Info:
Deer, rabbit, and slug resistant with aromatic foliage that helps deter browsing. Performs best in average, well-drained soils and benefits from a light shearing after flowering to refresh foliage and encourage dense growth. Excellent for naturalistic plantings, edging pathways, and weaving between shrubs or larger perennials.
