Rarely offered is this gorgeous species endemic to Crete, which forms an airy mass of stiff, slightly trailing stems clothed in tiny blue-green leaves, and in summer heads of tiny vibrant purple flowers. This is such a deceptively delicate looking plant - the stems shimmer as if they're adorned with little tiny jewels, especially after rain or heavy dew. All parts of the plant are sweetly aromatic making it useful for both culinary and ornamental purposes. A fabulous plant for the dry garden, it loves a free-draining, sunny spot and will happily soften hard landscaping such as walls and steps. Mature size around 30cm high x 40cm wide
