Prostanthera ovalifolia 'Variegata'

Looking for a shrub that combines masses of colourful flowers with beautiful, evergreen foliage? Prostanthera ovalifolia 'Variegata', or Variegated Mint Bush, is an evergreen Australian native that brings vibrant colour and aromatic appeal to your garden.It’s easy to see why it’s called the thousand-flowered mint bush - in late spring and early summer, an impressive profusion of lilac-purple, trumpet-shaped flowers smother the whole bush, providing an insatiable treat for pollinators. Meanwhile, its grey-green leaves, edged with creamy white margins, provide year-round interest. This frost tender shrub can be grown in a container and moved into a frost-free area over winter. It also makes a lovely specimen for a bright conservatory. Ultimate height and spread: 1m (3.2ft).
