An elegant weed suppressor, with attractive soft green, fern-like leaves form a thick mat to out competing weeds. Dense, flat, pure white flower heads rise to 40 cm in summer. They attract pollinators to the garden. This variety has a high oil content and is the preferred cultivar for medicinal and herbal tea purposes (it has even been used as a hop substitute). Drought tolerant. 100 seeds.
