This beautiful perennial is not only fragrant but also hardy and drought tolerant. The silvery foliage grows about a foot tall with huge spikes of neon orange and red flowers another foot above the leaves. Hummingbirds and bees just love the flowers!
The flowers and leaves make a delicious tea that is warming, spicy, and soothing for upset stomaches. It’s hard to describe the combination of licorice, honey, and mint until you taste it yourself. Yum!
