Scarlet Mintbush

The Scarlet Mintbush is an extraordinary, highly decorative small native shrub growing between 30cm and 60cm tall. It features tiny, narrow linear green leaves packed with essential oils that release a rich, refreshing mint aroma when brushed against. In spring and summer, it sets the garden alight, completely filling its tight frame with bright, tubular fiery-scarlet to orange flowers that draw in native honeyeaters.
