Cultivars: There are a number of cultivars, with the majority grown as ornamentals rather than for their herbal properties. All are valuable as small ornamental flowering shrubs, and for their use as a low ground cover, especially in sunny dry environments. They are easily propagated from summer cuttings, and some cultivars are produced from seeds. Named cultivars include:

  • 'Purpurascens', a purple-leafed cultivar
  • 'Tricolor', a cultivar with white, yellow and green variegated leaves
  • 'Berggarten', a cultivar with large leaves
  • 'Icterina', a cultivar with yellow-green variegated leaves
  • 'Alba', a white-flowered cultivar
  • 'Extrakta', has leaves with higher oil concentrations
  • 'Lavandulaefolia', a small leaved cultivar


Var. albiflora; Alef., has lvs. 3-4 times as long as broad: fls. white.

Var. aurea, Hort., is a compact rather dwarf form about 1 ft. high, with golden yellow foliage.

Var. aurea variegata, Hort., is offered in the trade.

Var. crispa, Alef., has broad, crisped and variegated lvs. Var. icterina, Alef., has green-and-gold lvs.

Var. latifolia, Alef., has lvs. twice as long as broad; one of the common cult. forms.

Var. Milleri, Alef., has rather red and spotted lvs. Var. purpurascens, Alef., has somewhat reddish foliage and is said to be preferred in England for kitchen use on account of its strong and pleasant taste.

Var. rubriflora, Alef., has lvs. 3—4 times as long as broad, and red fls. Var. salicifolia, Alef., has lvs. 4-7 times as long as broad. Var. sturnina, Alef., has green-and-white lvs.

Var. tricolor, Vilm. (S. tricolor, Hort., not Lem.), has lvs. of three colors, gray-green, veined with yellowish white and flesh-pink, later becoming velvety rose-red or deep red.

Var. tenuior, Alef., has lvs. about 3—4 times as long as broad and blue fls. This is the form commonly cult. as a kitchen herb.
