It does extremely well in shallow soil over chalk — all too common in Hampshire — and is hardy down to -10°C, but only in well-drained conditions year-round. Wet soils can cause the roots to rot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flowers are particularly attractive: trailing purple-pink whorls held in red bracts, opening from late summer into autumn and drawing bees and other pollinators in abundance. For culinary use, the leaves have the best flavour before the flowers open and can be used fresh, dried, or frozen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEqually at home in large terracotta pots, as border edging, trailing over raised beds, or in gravel, coastal, cottage, and courtyard gardens.
