Culture: When used as a ground cover, 2-3 plants per square yard should be sufficient, and plants may be cut back hard (i.e., sheared close to the ground with an elevated lawn mower) in late winter to control growth and to remove dead undergrowth Uses: May be grown on trellises or fences (especially in areas near porches or patios where its fragrance may be enjoyed).
