Monardella odoratissima (Mountain Coyote Mint)
The heavenly herbal aroma will strike you upon your first encounter with this evergreen shrublet that is regionally native (mostly east of the Cascade crest, south to California). This is a tough plant, supported by a stout taproot and branching woody base that helps it thrive in harsh environments, including dry, rocky soils, deserts, and even alpine conditions!
In addition to its fragrance, the cheerful inch-wide purplish flower-heads will delight you with their summer-long bloom cycle.
Best in full sun to part shade, this tidy little shrublet grows only 6-12 in. tall by 2-3 ft. wide. It is deer-resistant, attracts bees, hummingbirds, butterflies, and tolerates both drought and seasonally moist conditions.
Pairs well with native prairie perennials, ornamental grasses, and other subshrubs like Helianthemum, Teucrium, and Hyssopus.
