  Prostanthera cuneata - alpine mint bush

A tough evergreen little plant for cooler areas, it grows with a compact habit. It has attractive small round leaves that have a minty fragrance when crushed, due to the presence of oil glands in the leaves. It flowers from summer to autumn, with profuse white flowers with delicate orchid like markings in the flower throat. The flowers are nectar rich and attractive to bees and other insects. It likes a well drained but moist soil.
