藿香 '納丁'

The scent from the foliage is a lovely bonus every time I brush past it, and those dark pink blooms have been non-stop since June. Definitely the star of my border this year.

The flower spikes tower above everything else in my border, and that deep pink is impossibly vivid even from across the garden. I've been cutting a few stems for vases and they're still holding strong after a week.

I love how the scented foliage adds another layer to this plant—it's not just about the blooms. The flowers have been a magnet for bees and butterflies in my garden all summer. Definitely a keeper for any sunny border.
