Spiked Mint Bush
Prostanthera phylicifolia
A beautiful rounded shrub, the unusually named ‘Spiked Mint Bush’ actually has quite soft leaves and produces masses of violet/purple flowers in spring. A very hardy plant, it grows best in a position that does not receive full sun.The only maintenance required is to give the plant a good pruning after each flowering to keep it compact and promote better flowering the following season. This is a great addition to any gardens, particularly in shaded areas.
