(Monardella odoratissima). Zones 4 – 6. This square stemmed plant rarely grows more than a foot high. It has small dark green, opposite leaves and straight un-branching six-inch stems radiating from the roots. During early summer the tips of the stems are covered with lavender or purple flower puffs.
This perennial often has dead stems and flower buffs intermingled with the live growth. The scent of the plant is very aromatic, resembling a cross between citrus and camphor. Pennyroyal likes dry arroyos and hillsides from three thousand to seventy-five thousand feet.
Propagation: Sprinkle the tiny Pennyroyal seeds on the surface of a flat and water very gently. Transplant seedlings six inches apart in a sunny garden spot.
