I have spent most of my career as a Landscape Architect, studying plants in and around the Denver Metro Area. Along the way I have collected thousands of pictures of plants, my clients have found them very helpful in seeing how plants will actually grow in typical landscapes.

Comments: Color mid summer, nice foliage,
Does not attract cats and is NOT in
the mint family so does not spread
and overtake. Will attract bees along
with butterflies when in flower.
