These plants are low maintenance and not terribly fussy. Their lighting requirements range from part sun to full sun and although they prefer rich soil, they can also grow in clay.The plants may be pruned to keep them in a smaller size. Pruning is done in early spring and a light application of slow release fertilizer right around the same time will enhance the plants health. Plants are tolerant of drought once established. A layer of mulch around their root zones will help reduce competitive weeds and conserve moisture. Next time you are outdoors and detect an intoxicating scent. Choose the right cultivar and then learn how to care for plant so the delightful fragrance can perfume your yard.
