Prostanthera ‘Rosette’ 2 Ltr pot

Prostanthera Rosette is an evergreen mint-bush grown for its richly aromatic foliage and compact, bushy habit, suiting warm, sheltered Irish gardens and containers. Plant in sun or light shade, out of cold, drying winds, in moist but welldrained, moderately fertile soil that is neutral to acidic. Trim lightly after flowering to keep a neat shape, avoiding hard cuts into old wood. In containers, use a free-draining, peat-free mix and position in a sheltered spot; protect from hard frost.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
