One of the first perennials my mother gave me, a delightful old fashioned ground cover for under roses, where it will remain well behaved forever, or until overgrown by an invasive neighbour. Easily revived and transplanted however, and not to be confused with 'Claridge Druce' or other inferior Geranium oxonianum hybrids.
Woolly thyme, useful as a lawn thyme or amongst stones in a rockery or gravel garden. Tight compact habit and pink flowers. Dry tolerant.
