Read detailed description :

Forms a dense globe, with a luminous silvery-grey foliage, even in winter. Surprising aromas of curry and liquorice arise from the plant in spring and through the season, becoming stronger if very warm. Characteristic of Mediterranean coastal regions. Little yellow flowers from June to August. Prefers a warm exposure and a dry soil, well filtered, even acid to slightly chalky, poor, sandy or gravelly.
