Prostanthera rotundifolia
(Australian Mint Bush)
|
|
||
|
Stunning purple bell shaped flowers absolutely cover this fragrant Australian native. Rising to six feet this hardwood shrub with its tiny dark green leaves is a necessity for perennial gardens in mild winter areas where the temperature doesn't go below 20 degrees. The purple flowers are tinted with pink which makes an attractive complement to gray shrubs and other pink flowers. Plant with Dwarf Blue Butterfly Bush and Magic Carousel Miniature Rose for a continuous riot of color. As the early spring flowers of the Australian Mint Bush wane the Dwarf Butterfly Bush explodes and the Magic Carousel Rose with its bicolor, pink and dark pink, flowers will bloom until frost. The mint flavored foliage is culinary, something to experiment with.... In 2003, our mother bush (pictured
above) that we relied on for cuttings for your new plants, just up and
died. It was over 10 years old and 8 feet tall. We have procured a new
mother plant, and hope to offer this stunning bush to you in the future.
Thank you for your patience. |
