Prostanthera
Ballerina is a hybrid Mint bush. One parent is thought to be P.
lasianthos the Victorian Christmas Bush. “Ballerina” is reputed to
reach a height of two metres. At Yallaroo we restrict the height, of our
“Ballerinas”, to about one metre by pruning after flowering.
“Ballerina” has two attractive features. The foliage is pleasantly
perfumed and masses of white flowers appear in late spring and summer.
Flowering is so prolific that the foliage disappears beneath the mass of
blooms. “Ballerina” has proved to be frost hardy. They appreciate a drink
during very dry periods. This hybrid propagates readily from cuttings. If you
are seeking a plant that will light up the garden in the warmer months then Prostanthera
Ballerina is for you.
