Licorice-scented foliage can be used in teas and added to salads. This plant was named to commemorate the 50-year reign of Queen Elizabeth II.
Grows best in full sun and an average to dry, well-drained soil. If desired, pinch main stems in June just before buds form, to keep the plant compact. After flowering, remove old flowers to promote a second flowering.
