Its aromatic flowers and leaves have been used for centuries in teas, oils, and sachets to promote relaxation, ease stress, and encourage restful sleep. In the garden, its compact form and silvery foliage bring year-round structure, while summer blooms transform borders into fragrant, pollinator-rich havens.
