Comments:
The specific name “crispum” refers to the crisped leaves. This plant blossoms during most of the year. The pretty pink flowers make it ideal for gardens. The plants are largely associated with rocky lower mountain or hill slopes, growing in the shelter of boulders in sandy soils. The leaves and young shoots can be used for essential oils or dried and used in potpourri.
