Start indoors any time of the year. Plant outdoors after the last frost in a sunny garden with well-drained soil, or grow in a container. Prune regularly to promote bushy growth. In cold climates, bring indoors in fall and grow in a sunny window. The plants have aromatic sweet fragrance that can perfume a room.
Cut flowers can make a beautiful bouquet.
Dried flowers perfume linens when placed in a satchet. Flowers can be used in salads or as a garnish. Use fresh to flavor vinegars and jellies. To dry, collect flowering stems in summer. Tie together at the base and hang bunches upside down in a warm, airy, shaded location.
