Victorian Christmas bush. The largest of the Australian mint bushes and hardier than most. Ovate, peppermint scented evergreen leaves. Very pretty orchid like flowers and predominately white with mauve tints and purple spotting in the throats. Height and spread to around 4m x 2m. Good for large pots where you can give it some winter protection or very sheltered areas in sun. Hardy to between -5 and -10c but must be sheltered from winds.
