Prostanthera 'Badja Peak', Victorian Christmas Bush

An evergreen, upright perennial shrub that grows fast in good conditions and tolerates sandy, drought conditions when established. A densely-branched, mound covered in highly fragrant 3-inch long, paddle-shaped leaves of deep green. In late spring through early summer, the branch tips are graced with orchid-like, funnel-shaped, pale lavender to white blooms. It's a stunner when in bloom, and a sturdy, evergreen foil when it's not. Sometimes listed as a selection of Prostanthera cuneata but I have my doubts about this. Mature size: 3-4 ft T x W Minimum temperature: 5° F
