Preferred by hummingbirds, bees and butterflies, plants do best in rich soils with full to partial sun, dry to moderate conditions and sandy, clay or loam soils. Leaves have a pungent mint scent and flavor and make a great tea. Powdery mildew can be a problem in the garden Direct sow in early spring, pressing lightly into the surface of the soil.
