Plant Description

Prostanthera cuneata, commonly known as the Alpine Mint Bush, is a compact, aromatic evergreen shrub native to Australia. At the 20-40 cm size, this young plant features small, rounded leaves with a strong minty fragrance, making it a delightful addition to any garden. The leaves are dark green and glossy, with a characteristic wedge shape, which is reflected in its name “cuneata,” meaning wedge-shaped. In late spring to summer, Prostanthera cuneata produces a profusion of white to pale lilac flowers with purple spots, which attract bees and other pollinators. This dense, bushy shrub is ideal for rock gardens, borders, or as a low hedge, providing both visual appeal and fragrance.
