Prostanthera Poorinda Ballerina

Common Name:
Poorinda Ballerina Mintbush

Description:
Prostanthera 'Poorinda Ballerina' is a stunning Australian native mintbush, prized for its profuse display of delicate, pale mauve to white tubular flowers that bloom in spring. This fast-growing, evergreen shrub features aromatic, fine-textured foliage that releases a refreshing minty fragrance when crushed. It thrives in well-draining soil and prefers a position in full sun to part shade, making it an excellent choice for native gardens, mixed borders, or as a feature shrub. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and requires minimal maintenance beyond occasional pruning to maintain its compact form. Its nectar-rich flowers attract bees and other pollinators, enhancing biodiversity in the garden.
