Satureja gilliesii
This delightful small shrub to 3 ft or so with quarter inch narrow green leaves smelling ... much mintier than mint, has been our favorite Yerba Santa to date. From our collection at about about 5000 ft in central Chile's Cañon Infernillo, it has been a very drought tolerant, hardy shrub, which remains evergreen and produces white to pale lilac flowers in summer. The lightest brush brings forth its heady aroma. Proved hardy at least to 10F, the bottom of USDA zone 8 and possibly lower.
