Prostanthera rotundifolia - Round Leaf Mint Bush

Prostanthera rotundifolia, commonly known as Round Leaf Mint Bush, is a stunning Australian native shrub prized for its spectacular display of purple to mauve flowers in spring. The small, rounded aromatic leaves release a delightful minty fragrance when brushed, making it a sensory delight in any garden.

This compact, bushy shrub typically grows to approximately 1–2m in height and 1–1.5m in width, making it ideal for cottage gardens, native borders, and wildlife-friendly plantings. It attracts bees and butterflies and is well-suited to Ballarat's cold climate conditions.

Best planted in a well-drained position in full sun to partial shade. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a tidy shape and encourage dense growth. Drought tolerant once established.
