How to Care for the Plant

Water
There is no need to water after the plant has been established. Most pests and insects are repelled naturally by the plant's strong taste and odor. Plant the bush in well-drained soil with plenty of sand or gritty material mixed into a depth of at least 8 inches (20 cm.).
Pruning
Pinch back shoot tips of young plants to encourage bushy growth.
Soil
Light (sandy) and medium (loamy) soils, prefers well-drained soil
