  • Description

  • Notes

Blue mint bush is a great addition to a perennial border. It grows about 15 inches tall and wide, and has dark green leaves that have an intensely minty scent. Clusters of blue thyme-like flowers bloom on stem ends in the summer, and are highly attractive to butterflies. Planted in the Washington Square Garden.
