The Dracocephalum plant is an upright, clumping perennial with aromatic grey-green leaves and spikes of fragrant, tubular pink, violet or white flowers in summer. The plant can reach a height of up to 1.2m (4ft) and has a spread of up to 1m (3ft). It is best grown in full sun in well-drained soil that is not too rich, and is drought tolerant once established. The foliage can be harvested for use in potpourri and other fragrant applications.
Dracocephalum seeds are small and black, and can be sown directly into the ground or in containers, ideally in the spring. The plants prefer a sunny position, and the soil should be kept slightly moist. When the seedlings are established, they can be thinned to a spacing of 30-45cm (12-18in). The plants can be harvested for their essential oils and used in aromatherapy and perfume, and the leaves can be dried and used in teas and potpourris.
Dracocephalum plants are easy to care for and can be propagated from cuttings or by dividing the plant in the spring. They should be watered regularly and fertilized with a balanced fertilizer. The plants can be pruned in the spring to encourage new growth and remove dead or diseased foliage. They can also be deadheaded to encourage more blooms.

Its attractive foliage and flowers make it an excellent choice for adding texture and colour to borders and beds. The essential oils produced by the plant can be used in aromatherapy and perfume, and the leaves can be used in teas and potpourris. It is an easy to care for plant that requires minimal maintenance to thrive.
