Also called florist silver dollar, 'Baby Blue' is a florist's staple. Long stems with rounded leaves in shades of dusty green, sometimes with purple highlights are excellent for a bouquet filler, wreath base, and are very sturdy when dried. With heady, menthol-like fragrance, it is widely used in aromatherapy, potpourri, as a pest deterrent, and much more. Perennial in USDA zones 9–11; also grown as an annual. As an annual, plants reach about 24"–48", but it can become a 35'-tall tree over time where perennial. Drought tolerant once established, heat tolerant, and rarely bothered by pests. Deer resistant.

Very few seeds

I was really excited to plant these, however ,I opened the tiny seed packet and there was hardly any seeds inside. I counted less than 10 seeds. Super disappointing.
