Prostanthera Cuneata

That's pretty :o)
How tall is this please ?

It is a small shrub TT, only about 1' tall, and spreads out a wee bit more. the main attraction is the scented leaves. It is called New Zealand Mint Bush.

A new one to me very pretty.......

It is pretty and it's one of my favourite evergreens.

Ours is not flowering, but it is a new plant, so it is hardy then, we were told they were tender.....

Yes, DD, me too. I was sure I would lose mine this winter but they have not even flinched!! Sometimes I am baffled by hardiness ratings! They are in the South East facing front garden so they do get a lot of sunshine all morning, but I am overjoyed that they are all (5 of them) looking pristine and untouched by the cold.

Thanks for the info... lovely ! :o)

I've never seen this before, I love the tight foliage. This could be a slope contender :-))

Oh yes, for sure Ann!

When you say you have 5, are they all the same or have you different varieties?

No dotty, they are all the same. I have them in my front garden, i'm increasing them to make a low growing hedge, but they are quite expensive, so I just get a couple every year and grow other things between them!

I seeeeee.good idea.

Glad to see this, Ks, as I have two of them, and you don't see them very often on this site. Mine are as tough as old boots, and as you know, really pretty when they flower :~))

Ah, good Flori.....do you prune and if so how does it respond?

Mine seem to stay very low, so I don't tend to have to have to prune them back where they are, Ks. I have just taken the odd bit of deadwood out now and again, but it seems to do fine. :~))

Ah, yes, mine are low too but they are spreading out a bit over the drive. I probably won't need to cut them, but I did read that if you prune them after flowering they are ok. Just wondered if you'd ever tried it!

Not as yet, Ks, but that info worth knowing~what a gem you are!

Cheers! :))

Am glad at last I am making a little leeway into some of your posts, Ks. It can be hard work playing catch up, can't it, but am so glad I have. Your photos are a joy to see my friend! :~)))))x

Thanks so much! I know what you mean about trying to catch up!! :))
