These plants are an attractive silver color when the sun catches them, especially before they flower. Mostly this plant was used as a bug repellent: burning it wards off mosquitoes and other pesky biters; placing it in bedding keeps bed bugs, fleas and lice at bay.

This site has an interesting write up about this plant.
