*
Early European settlers brought me to America
And I headed out West with the Pioneers
One of the first plants to be mail-ordered
I'm the longest lived perennial by years.
*
I'm a herbaceous perennial
And renowned for my gen'rally sweet scent
'tis said ants tickle my flower buds open
No self-respecting garden without me went.
*
Can you name me?
