This is one of my favourite herbs which I grow for its stunning foliage in my sunny border. The yellow flowers are not everyone's cup of tea but are easily removed if you simply want the silvery-blue leaves. I grow mine next to Verbena Bonariensis and Oxeye Daisies and it's quite popular with a variety of insects including this Large Red Damselfly which visited yesterday.
