“Prostanthera cuneata, commonly known as Alpine Mint Bush, is an aromatic evergreen shrub that adds charm and fragrance to British gardens. Growing to a height of 60-90cm, it features small, glossy green leaves with a minty scent and produces clusters of tubular white flowers with purple spots from late spring to early summer. This shrub thrives in sunny or partially shaded locations with well-drained soil, making it suitable for borders, rockeries, or container planting.

To maintain its compact form and encourage bushy growth, prune lightly after flowering in late spring or early summer. Feed with a balanced fertilizer in spring to promote healthy foliage and flowering.

Prostanthera cuneata is highly attractive to bees and other pollinators due to its abundant nectar and fragrant blooms. Its role in supporting local biodiversity makes it a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly gardens, contributing to pollination efforts and enhancing the ecological balance of urban and rural landscapes across the UK.

With its aromatic foliage, attractive flowers, and ecological benefits, Prostanthera cuneata offers both ornamental value and environmental stewardship, making it an excellent choice for gardeners looking to enhance their outdoor spaces while supporting local wildlife.”
