Description

Of all 42 species that exist, Elsholtzia stauntonii is the easiest to find and is an upright bush that grows up to 1.5m tall. It is a deciduous shrub with sharply to smoothed, 1.5cm long, lance-shaped leaves. The leaves have a strong scent of mint, especially when they are crushed. The dark green leaves will turn yellow, orange and red in autumn. In late summer to early autumn, 20cm high panicles of flowers appear on top of the stem. They appear upright and have numerous pink or purplish flowers all along the top of the stem. The flowers if they appear in August can last well onto autumn. This will give a valuable long-lasting splash of colour late in the season.
