Prostanthera lasianthos (Victorian Christmas Tree)
2 (10)m, Victorian Christmas Tree is a most unusual member in the genus of Australian mint bushes. The small bright green to mid green leaves have a typical menthol fragrance.
Prostanthera rotundifolia is one of the hardier members in this genus. One nursery reports that a specimen in a 5-gallon container survived several days of 15°F weather, even when the soil in the container froze.
