In the meantime I have answered a couple fo question.<br />Cat- The oregano is in well draining soil but manages with 1/2 days sun in one place.<br />Iris- Know what you mean about the pink skullcap, just not quite as pretty. I think the best way to grow the purple is to put the Rock rose https://www.blogger.com/profile/00348711150803587369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-78496943567164869642011-06-16T09:01:22.752-07:002011-06-16T09:01:22.752-07:00That mounding purple skullcap is something else. ...That mounding purple skullcap is something else.
